GBCC Continues Outreach to Utility Districts

The Greens Bayou Corridor Coalition staff, Manager of Volunteer Programs Candice Pauley and Executive Director Jill Boullion, traveled to San Antonio in July to attend the annual summer conference of the Association of Water Board Directors. This is the Coalition's third year to be part of this state wide conference that attracted more than 2,000 delegates in 2012. The Coalition welcomed directors to learn more about our initiatives and projects in the watershed at our booth in the exhibit hall. A map featuring the location of water districts in north Harris County is always an attention getter.... directors love to locate their district and talk about the issues and challenges they are working on.

We also welcomed about 70 at our late afternoon reception at the Grand Hyatt. Cocktails, conversation and classical music was the order of the day. To the sounds of a harpist we spent time just relaxing and getting to know one another.

Thank you to the organizations that sponsored our reception: Johnson Radcliffe Petrov and Bobbitt pllc, LJA Engineering, Edminster Hinshaw Russ & Associates, AECOM, AEI Engineering, Brown and Gay Engineers, Clark Condon Associates, CivilTech Engineering, Costello Engineering, Environmental Allies, Hays Utility South Corporation, KBR and Klotz Engineering. We'd also like to recognize our board member, Todd Burrer, who was re-elected as Gulf Coast Trustee for AWBD. Congrats, Todd!

Look for us in Corpus Christi at next summer's AWBD Conference! We'll be the ones wearing green!!
