Board Committees

AWA Directors each work along with Agency staff on several Standing and Ad Hoc Committees to focus on the business of running the Water Agency and special projects. Directors also serve as members or attend meetings of related regional agencies.

Committee meetings are open to all members of the public. Meeting notices and agendas for Standing Committee meetings are published in advance – on this website (below) and by email on request. To be added to the AWA email list for meeting notices, please contact kgish@amadorwater.org.
