Mountain Counties Water Resources Association
Elects New Board Members
MOUNTAIN COUNTIES, Calif. (JANUARY 18, 2023) – The Mountain Counties Water Resources Association (MCWRA) has announced electing Nevada County Supervisor Susan (Sue) Hoek, Yuba Water Agency Director Don Blaser, and Amador Water Agency Director Susan Peters to its Board of Directors. Placer County Supervisor Jim Holmes and Calaveras County Water District Director Scott Ratterman were both re-elected following the expiration of their most recent board terms. The positions take effect immediately, and run through 2026.
“I’m excited about the background and experience that these individuals collectively bring to the Association,” said Mike Lee, MCWRA President and Placer County Water Agency Director. “The MCWRA leadership is well positioned to advocate on behalf of the protection of the Sierra Nevada watershed and its resources.”
The MCWRA Board of Directors recently adopted its 2023-2025 Strategic Plan, and updated the Association’s Mission, Vision, and Values. MCWRA strives to be the premiere advocate to influence water policy and protection of the Sierra Nevada watershed through leadership, advocacy, collaboration, and education.
The MCWRA Board consists of six elected Water Board members and three County Supervisors. Directors represent the membership-at-large in a regional capacity, not a specific entity.
Mountain Counties Water Resources Association Mission is to promote the statewide importance of Sierra Nevada water resources through advocacy and collaboration. This Mission is realized through strengthening Members’ regional leadership, collaboration, information sharing, issue awareness, education, advocacy, and potential legislative action or legal support.
