The Board
The Colorado Water Conservation Board consists of 15 members. Eight voting members represent the state’s major water basins: the South Platte, North Platte, Arkansas, Rio Grande, Gunnison/Uncompahgre, Colorado Mainstem, Yampa/White and the San Juan/Dolores/San Miguel. One voting member represents the City and County of Denver, and the tenth voting member is an Ex-Officio, the Executive Director of the Department of Natural Resources.
Other Ex-Officios, who are non-voting members, inform and advise the other Board Members on water issues as they relate to or impact their agencies. These five members consist of the Director of the CWCB, the State Engineer, the Attorney General, the Director of the Division of Wildlife, and the Commissioner of Agriculture.
Board Members serve three year terms, and are appointed by the Governor after they apply or are nominated for the position. All appointees must be confirmed by the Senate. Applicants for the positions are generally experienced in water resource issues, such as water law, irrigated farming, ranching, and water project planning, financing, or engineering. No more than five appointees can be members of the same political party, and all appointees must reside in the area they represent.
Individuals interested in applying for a Board position should visit the Governor's Boards & Commissions Office.
The Board meets every two months, in various locations around the state, with location often depending on some of the current issues to be discussed. These meetings are open to the public, and citizens have the opportunity to address the board during official agenda item discussions.
