State Associations and their Board Members |
Membership in the National Water Resources Association is through the state water resource organizations in the West. For example, if an individual, professional services firm, or water provider is a member of the Association of California Water Agencies, that entity is then a member of NWRA. The state water resource organizations are assessed dues, based on the state’s population. Each state organization has seats on the NWRA Board of Directors, the number of which is also based on state demographics. NWRA also offers the opportunity for Associate Membership, allowing individual entities to support the association's efforts beyond the state associations’ contributions. This unique format provides for a large and very diverse membership which provides NWRA with information and feedback related to each member's water experiences and activities. | The input provided by members is often funneled through one of many member Task Forces or through the Groundwater, Irrigation, or Municipal Caucuses, where participants narrow their focus on specific aspects of water policy, including hydropower, groundwater, water supply and more. NWRA also has several committees that focus operational and policy matters. The largest and most active is the Federal Affairs Committee, which meets monthly to discuss how the association pro-actively leads on Western water resource development, management, conservation and education. The committee also monitors legislative and regulatory initiatives which impact members, and advocates accordingly. |
