Center for Watershed Protection adds new features and benefits to help water resource professionals

ELLICOTT CITY, Md. - April 30, 2013 - PRLog -- The Center launched a new website (http://www.cwp.org/) with expanded news, more frequent installments of the peer-reviewed Watershed Science Bulletin (http://www.cwp.org/2013-04-07-14-40-38/about-the-bulletin) and a regular blog (http://www.cwp.org/2013-04-07-13-47-12) on hot topics in the industry. The improvements are especially helpful to The Center’s growing network of professionals focused on sustaining the nation’s water resources for the future.

The launch of the new website coincides with the re-naming of the professional association from AWSPs to the Center for Watershed Protection Association (CWPA). Popular benefits (http://www.cwp.org/benefits) like the webcast discounts, free trainings and the Online Watershed Library will continue and others added. To accommodate tight budgets, individual membership has been reduced by 10% for 2013.

Unifying the names reinforces the value connection between the Center’s work over 20 years and membership in the organization.”
