Municipal Authority Communications Award!Communication_Awards
Municipal authorities in Pennsylvania have been providing the citizens of our Commonwealth with a wide array of critical services for over 81 years. All too often authorities do their work efficiently and quietly, in the background, with their good work taken for granted, a consequence of the safe, reliable, and economical services provided. The better you do your job, the more likely you go unnoticed, and perhaps, unfortunately, underappreciated.

In an effort to recognize and value the integral work done by authorities, PMAA is pleased to announce the creation of the Municipal Authority Communications Award.
