February 2008 has been highly significant to me. Besides being the second month of my AWRA presidency, it has been just one year since the Co-Chairs of AWRA's 3rd National Water Resources Policy Dialogue sent letters to President Bush, to Congressional Leaders, and the nation's Governors. The letters provided our nation's leaders with the results of the discussions and the recommendations of the attendees about what is needed to bring the nation's water policies into the 21st Century. While we were disappointed by the lack of response from the Administration, we were encouraged by the responses from congressional leaders and from Governors who applauded AWRA's efforts in the water policy arena, and from the continuing enthusiastic responses from AWRA members to this important effort. AWRA's Board of Directors (BOD) is committed to making our leaders aware of our concerns regarding our nation's water, and of our interest of being involved in finding solutions to these problems.
