Sustainability is a core tenet in Columbia, and the Watershed Advisory Committee (WAC) exists to help maintain and improve the water quality and ecological integrity of our watersheds.
The WAC is not currently looking for new members. This group is made up of 11 members who technically serve one year terms, though reappointment is common and most members serve on the committee until they decide to leave.
Chair: Deborah Wessner
CA liaison: John McCoy
CA Board of Directors liaison: Karin Emery
Drawing on their experience in watershed related issues (including topics like lake management, forest health and stormwater management), members of the WAC provide input to CA staff on CA watershed plans. This includes recommending best practices, enhancing public awareness and facilitating education on watershed issues.
Next Meeting: Monday, May 8 at 6pm
The committee meets once every other month (every second Monday every other month, 6-7:30pm) and is made up of representatives from each village, plus one at-large member.
