[RD Undersecretary Basil I. Gooden, PhD @BasilGooden]

@RCAPInc and @usdaRD share a dedication to the people of rural America. Thanks for the ongoing partnership.

[Olga Morales-Pate @RCAPOlga]

As a former TAP myself, I *loved* seeing a packed house for the New TAP program! You all are the hands and feet of RCAP.

[RCAP @RCAPInc]

Day 1 of the National Conference kicked off with New TAP Orientation where we welcomed 56 new technical assistance providers from across the RCAP network. #RCAPConference24

[Olga Morales-Pate @RCAPOlga]

Lots of important updates from RCAP’s federal partners!

[RCAP @RCAPInc]

Today's opening session featured @USDA Under Secretary Dr. @BasilGooden, @EPAWater's Jennifer McLain, and @USDARD's Janet Strouder speaking to attendees about what their agencies' priorities are for rural America. Thank you, federal partners for joining us! #RCAPConference2024

[Olga Morales-Pate @RCAPOlga]

It has been so wonderful to have you all with us! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[South Dakota @RD_SouthDakota]

Under Secretary for @usdaRD @BasilGooden joined @RD_SouthDakota and @RD_Nebraska State Directors and staff in Omaha for @RCAPInc’s 2024 conference. @RCAPInc provides critical technical assistance specializing in water and wastewater treatment for rural communities and Tribes.

[Rural Development @usdaRD]

“I was asked to discuss the priorities of USDA, and it’s simple: it’s people. It’s not just the connections and the partnerships, but how we impact the people in rural America.”

-RD Under Secretary Dr. Basil Gooden at @RCAPInc Conference in Omaha, NE today.

I am laughing so hard. This is hilarious!!

Here is the IDF drone footage of Sinwar just moments before he left this world. The “courageous mighty” leader of Hamas throws a stick at the IDF drone to try to bring it down. 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[Ari Ingel @OGAride]

Not sure if this is real or accurate ... but says Sinwar threw a grenade at troops, the building was then shelled, & a drone sent in.

Sinwar threw rocks at the drone, and then a Kala (a Kala saar is a marksman), took him out with a shot to the head.

[Olga Morales-Pate @RCAPOlga]

I was honored to be part of this event and the great work @RCAPInc's #Agua4All program does to bring clean water to communities that need it. Looking forward to serving more children and communities in the next year!

[Waterboys.org @WaterboysORG]

🚰💧 Clean water is a right, not a privilege.

We’re spotlighting a recent HometownH2O project in South Carolina: we have installed bottle-filling stations at Allendale-Fairfax Elementary, ensuring students have safe, contaminant-free drinking water throughout the school day! 🏫

[RCAP @RCAPInc]

Keeping good jobs in rural America, and enabling kids to stay local after going to school, is what more of our small communities need. https://t.co/6dxeOY3YvL

[Olga Morales-Pate @RCAPOlga]

I'm thrilled that RCAP now has a podcast to tell more of the great stories of our impact in rural communities. Be sure to listen and subscribe on Apple or Spotify so you never miss an episode! #RuralMatters

[RCAP @RCAPInc]

Episode 1 is LIVE! 🎙 Our CEO, @RCAPOlga, shares how growing up without running water, and then gettting it, influenced her life and led to a career with RCAP helping rural communities get the critical infrastructure they need to thrive. LISTEN: https://t.co/BPl9WH9njr

[Olga Morales-Pate @RCAPOlga]

What a joy it was to be part of this event with @SERCAPWater and our great partners from @Xylem and Chris Long Foundation. There is no substitute for clean water! 🚰

[RCAP @RCAPInc]

It was a great day in South Carolina as RCAP joined @SERCAPWater and Agua4All funding partners Chris Long Foundation and @Xylem to celebrate new bottle filling stations bringing safe, lead-free drinking water to Allendale Elementary School.

[Olga Morales-Pate @RCAPOlga]

Supporting the human infrastructure of rural communities is more essential than ever, as this @WSJ article makes clear. RCAP will be putting more focus on this moving forward. https://t.co/kB08tFnj5c

[Olga Morales-Pate @RCAPOlga]

These figures represent real people and real communities. So proud to work with our regional partners and various funders to improve the quality of life in rural and Tribal areas. #RuralMatters

[RCAP @RCAPInc]

In FY2023, RCAP assisted 2,153 communities, a 26% jump from 2022. Through our techincal assistance and training services, as well as robust advocacy, these communities leveraged over $440 million in federal infrastructure funds. FULL REPORT: https://t.co/F01FDMPHxe

“All gave some, some gave all.” Thank you to all of our military members who laid down their lives and to their families. May we live lives worthy of their sacrifice. 🇺🇸🫡

[RCAP @RCAPInc]

🇺🇸🦅Today, we honor the brave men and women who gave the ultimate sacrifice for our country, ensuring that Americans have the freedom to enjoy life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

[Olga Morales-Pate @RCAPOlga]

🎉🎉Congrats on this great win, @RCAP_Solutions!! Relying on a well should not have to mean having less safe drinking water.

[RCAP Solutions @RCAP_Solutions]

Exciting news – the MA Senate PASSED @JamieEldridgeMA's Amendment #59, "Private Wells Study", to the FY25 Budget! ✔️

This amendment will provide $100,000 to @MassDEP to conduct a study for a program to ensure that drinking water from private wells is safe.

#WhatsInYourWellWater

[Olga Morales-Pate @RCAPOlga]

The life of a TAP! We make sure everyone else living in/coming to these lovely locations have reliable drinking water and wastewater services 😊

[Olga Morales-Pate @RCAPOlga]

Thank you, Chairman @CongressmanGT and @repdavidscott for your work so far. RCAP looks forward to working with you, @SenStabenow and Sen. @JohnBoozman to get a #FarmBill passed that includes critical resources for rural/Tribal communities.

[RCAP @RCAPInc]

RCAP's @StigerTR is on Capitol Hill with @NCBACLUSA's Aaliyah Nedd at the @HouseAgGOP Committee's markup of its version of the #FarmBill. Read RCAP's letter outlining our priorities for this important legislation: https://t.co/CP3oJ4HLi5
