MCWRA President Scott Ratterman Elected to ACWA JPIA Executive Committee
MOUNTAIN COUNTIES, Calif. (MAY 10, 2023) – On Monday, Mountain Counties Water Resources Association (MCWRA) President Scott Ratterman, Calaveras County Water District (CCWD) Director, was elected to the Association of California Water Agencies (ACWA) Joint Powers Insurance Authority (JPIA) Executive Committee. The election took place during the JPIA Board of Directors Meeting held in Monterey. President Ratterman has served as the CCWD representative on the JPIA since 2014.
“Our congratulations go out to President Ratterman as he steps into this statewide leadership role,” said Justin Caporusso, MCWRA Executive Director. “Statewide collaboration is one of our strategic priorities, and this role will help facilitate additional opportunities for MCWRA to provide outreach and education on the priorities of the Sierra Nevada watershed.”
The JPIA is a partnership of water agencies dedicated to avoiding the high cost of commercial insurance. Formed in 1979, JPIA is a risk-sharing pool for property, liability, workers’ compensation and employee benefits which allows for more rate stability, broader coverage, and expanded benefits and services than private insurance.
Ratterman earned his Business Administration degree from California State University, Sacramento, and immediately began working in the insurance industry. Ratterman retired from his professional career in 2019 following 37 years in the insurance industry.
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.
