. Welcome! to the Cherry Creek Stewardship Partners 2002 Annual Conference . The Cherry Creek Stewardship Partners is an informal association of a broad range of stakeholders interested in promoting effective stewardship of the Cherry Creek watershed, bringing together stakeholders from the land use jurisdictions, the state and federal resource management agencies, conservation, recreation and historic preservation groups, and the business community. The Partners emerged from the first Cherry Creek watershed forum, held in 1999, The Partners have organized and presented three well- attended public forums addressing ongoing activities such as open space and stream quality in the Cherry Creek watershed and concerns for the future. The need for cross- jurisdictional coordination and communication on watershed issues in the Cherry Creek basin emerged as the number one priority at the October 2000 watershed conference- Shaping A Legacy for the Cherry Creek Watershed, The Partners believe they have met this need with their extensive representation by the local communities, as well as being the first active group that represents both the upper and lower portions of the watershed, The Partners have defined their role in providing regular information-sharing forums, while at the same time providing an opportunity for participants to consider ways to coordinate and, perhaps, integrate projects and activities that affect water resources and recreational components of the watershed. Primarily, ad hoc work groups, composed of staff from the land use jurisdictions, state and federal management agencies, and consulting firms, join interested, committed citizens in the form of subcommittees to carry out stewardship activities, . The Conference Committee is one such subcommittee, established to develop an agenda, contact speakers, scout a conference location, and coordinate all the little details that will provide attendees with a meaningful conference experience. The 2002 Conference Committee included the following volunteers from the Partners: Paul Hindman, Conference Chairman: speakers Lanae Raymond: sponsors, proceedings packet; poster session, conference signage Mike Schlegel: Awards and Partners Calendar Joyce Schmidt: Awards and Partners Calendar Joan Howerter, ICEC, Inc: Conference logistics, liaison with conference center, budget Stephanie Piko: conference development Raylene Owen: conference development Marc Alston: initial conference development Terry Baus: initial conference development Casey DavenhiIl: initial conference development .
