About the Association

The Association is a non-profit corporation. All of the operating expenses for the Association including the CNMI business license annual fee, website maintenance expenses, and training venue expenses are generated from membership dues and training fees. We try to keep our expenses to an absolute minimum, so that membership dues and training fees can be kept at the lowest possible amount. Any excess funds generated are used to purchase training materials for our lending library.

You do not have to be a member to attend Association sponsored training classes.

As of December 31, 2019 the Mariana Islands Water Operator Association had 103 members.
