Ocean City, MD – August 26, 2025 – TRGroup Inc. announced today that its President and CEO, Aaron Finney, has earned the American Water Works Association (AWWA) Utility Risk and Resilience Certification. This credential positions Mr. Finney and the firm to provide expert guidance to public water systems in fortifying their infrastructure against critical threats, particularly in the realm of cybersecurity.

The AWWA certification is directly aligned with the requirements of the America’s Water Infrastructure Act (AWIA) of 2018, which mandates that water utilities conduct comprehensive risk and resilience assessments. The program provides a specialized framework for evaluating vulnerabilities, developing robust emergency response plans, and implementing advanced cybersecurity protocols to protect against an evolving threat landscape.

“Securing our nation’s water infrastructure is a critical imperative,” said Aaron Finney. “This certification provides the strategic framework needed to address complex risks, from operational hazards to sophisticated cyberattacks. Our goal at TRG is to leverage this expertise to help utilities meet their regulatory obligations and, more importantly, ensure the operational resilience necessary to protect public health and safety.”

For public utilities, partnering with an AWWA-certified professional ensures that their risk assessments and security strategies are built on a foundation of industry best practices. This leads to strengthened security postures, improved incident response capabilities, and greater confidence in the continuity of essential services.
