Colorado WaterWise is run by a volunteer board and one staff administrator. We are always looking for individuals who are dedicated to driving projects and will actively participate in our working committees. We welcome professionals with the following attributes:
- Committed to promoting and facilitating the efficient use of Colorado's water
- Well-connected and possess the technical know-how to raise funds
- Politically astute in the legislative arena

As a Board Member, your commitment includes:
- Serve a three-year term.
- Actively participate in at least one CWW committee throughout their term.
- Take on increasing leadership responsibility during their term. Board members are encouraged to use their first year to become familiar with CWW’s work and Board operations and, particularly, during their second and third years, to consider serving as a committee chair and/or Board officer if there are vacant positions. Officer roles include Co-Chair, Co-Treasurer, and Co-Secretary.
- Attend at least nine (9) board meetings, either virtually or in person, per year. Monthly board meetings are held on the second Thursday of each month from 10 a.m. to noon.
- Maintain a Colorado WaterWise membership for the duration of your term.
- Review and follow the expectations outlined in the Colorado WaterWise Organizational Handbook.
Board meeting locations change each month and an effort is made to accommodate members from locations across Colorado. On average, board members who are not in leadership positions spend 8 hours each month on CWW activities and board members in leadership positions (as an officer or committee chair) spend 10 hours each month on CWW activities.
