Dear Friends of the Minnesota Water Well Association:
We are excited to host our Annual Convention & Trade Show at the St. Cloud Civic Center and Kelly Inn in St. Cloud, Minnesota once again in January 2020! This year brings an excellent lineup of speakers and a trade show like you’ve never seen. Make plans now to attend the 96th Annual Convention & Trade Show!
PROFESSIONALISM
Minnesota Water Well Association members are more than quality contractors. They are professionals dedicated to the water well industry and stewards of our water systems. The MWWA Annual Convention emphasizes professionalism through continuing education, access to cutting edge technologies, and updates from the legislature and other regulatory authorities affecting your business.
DON’T FORGET THE TRADE SHOW
Visit the trade show on Monday, January 27, from 12:00 to 4:30 p.m. Make sure to see all the technology in the water well industry and experience Minnesota’s largest gathering of well drilling suppliers and manufacturers and thank them for supporting MWWA.
EARN YOUR CONTINUING EDUCATION UNITS
The MWWA Convention & Trade Show is the best place to earn your CE credits. By attending the convention, you will have the opportunity to receive all the credits you need to maintain your license. Please note that all program sessions qualify for CE hours. The number of hours is listed after each session.
The two-hour MDH program counts for the two-hour, MDH-provided continuing education and meets the new rule requirement for all contractors. As a reminder, all licensed contractors must obtain two hours of MDH-provided or MDH-sponsored training. Well contractors and monitoring well contractors must obtain an additional four hours of continuing education (total of six hours).
