Events Committee
This committee directs and oversees staff on tasks that pertain to the signature annual
event. The Events Committee consists of
Esther Vincent, Northern Colorado Water Conservancy District
Brenda O'Brien, Green Industries of Colorado (GreenCO)
Veva McCaig, Colorado Water Conservation Board
Scope of Work
Task 1 -Develop and deliver a comprehensive statewide Best Management Practices
(BMP) program for water providers and related professionals for indoor and
outdoor water conservation.
This BMP project will differ from GreenCO's BMPs for Water Conservation and Water
Quality Protection Practices in Colorado. This project will address indoor and outdoor
water conservation, and other water provider and community needs such as, Institutional,
Industrial, and Commercial conservation, and overall water provider system
needs/opportunities. This project will fully incorporate GreenCO's BMPs while
exceeding them in the aforementioned areas. By creating these comprehensive BMPs, the
CWWC can assist the State with attaining its goal of creating aColorado-based
conservation clearinghouse for water providers and professionals. A new, statewide BMP
program will build on CWWC's legacy of working with other groups and professionals
across the state in promoting and facilitating water conservation programs, plans, and
projects. Additionally, this will assist conservation professionals at the state level to
interact with and compare to other states that have already implemented such state
specific BMPs. The goals of this project are; 1) to develop a comprehensive suite of
BMPs for water-related professionals across the state; 2) to make the BMPs available to
any and all interested parties; 3) provide a foundation of support to CWWC to ensure
success.
Task 1-Develop BMP Program
Survey state and national urban water providers, landscape and property professionals,
and regional authorities, to develop list of BMP's needed for Colorado communities.
Develop draft BMP's for review & revision by CWWC board/members/partners
Deliver final version of BMP product
Task 2 -Outreach in support of BMP Project and organizational mission
The ED will play a vital role in supporting the mission of the CWWC and be the face of
the organization, through collaboration and outreach activities. The ED will present the
final BMP product at three different technical workshops across Colorado. An estimated
350 hard copies of the product will be printed, along with 3040 CD versions for
distribution at the workshops and other outreach events. In addition, an annual
`signature' event is planned, both social and informational, to provide value to CWWC
membership and attract new members. The ED will represent the CWWC at various
