Water Education for Latino Leaders
From the Water Education for Latino Leaders website as of May 16, 2023:[1]
- "In 2012, founder Victor Griego approached several California water professionals to discuss the need to educate Latino leaders about California’s water crisis. After that conversation, they recruited eight others to help achieve that goal. These individuals made up the first Advisory Board of Water Education for Latino Leaders (WELL).
- Today, the WELL Board of Directors is comprised of water experts and elected officials. These are a diverse set of leaders representing various constituencies and the diverse perspectives that come from their experiences as leaders at national, state, and local water agencies. Their expertise includes water policy and water management, environmental justice, conservation initiatives, and community, political, and labor organizing.
Current members of the WELL Board of Directors include Castulo Estrada, Tony Estremera, Joone K. Lopez, Irais Lopez-Ortega, Miguel A. Luna, Diana Mahmud, Gary Serrato, and Victor Griego.
