The OWASA Board of Directors <br /> requires that members balance the interests of local governments, the environment, and local <br /> ratepayers. It is vital that we have Directors who are able to give the facts the due diligence in <br /> determining how to balance these three priorities and ensure that ratepayers enjoy great <br /> services, that we are good stewards of our precious water resources, and that the community <br /> has confidence in OWASA's ability to serve. <br /> Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: <br /> The OWASA Board of Directors is an important Board in our community given that they oversee <br /> a utility agency. Water use and sustainability is becoming an ever important issue with a <br /> changing global climate. When coupled with increased development in southern Orange County, <br /> the OWASA Board of Directors will have to ensure that growth is sustainably managed as it <br /> relates to our water resources. <br /> Conflict of Interest: <br /> No. <br />
