Water Literate Leaders of Northern Colorado
Water Literate Leaders of Northern Colorado
Water is emerging as one of the most important and controversial subjects to be addressed in the 21st century. Water issues are particularly complex, and understanding the nuances is critical for good decision-making. Many who have helped our communities make sound water decisions are nearing retirement age. Northern Colorado needs a new crop of water literate leaders!
After the challenging past year, we look forward to coming together with our partners at the Community Foundation of Northern Colorado to engage the region’s community leaders in water conversations and solutions.
We are pleased to welcome our 5th cohort of Water Literate Leaders! These 20 leaders have committed to investing their time and energy to learn from experts and empower themselves to meet the everchanging water needs of our communities.
Welcome to our new 2022-2023 Water Literate Leaders Cohort!
