IWW Advisory Board

One of the key components of the IWW is the establishment of an external Advisory Board of 15 members, who will reflect the spectrum of water interests in Oregon.  The Board will provide the following information to IWW:

• Advice as to the direction the IWW should take;
• Delineation of funding opportunities, both within and without Oregon;
• Recommendations for new initiatives, especially those consistent with OSU’s land-grant mission of service to Oregon’s citizens;
• Identification of opportunities for collaboration; and
• Assistance in establishing funding priorities and evaluating proposals for the USGS grant program.

The first meeting was held in April 2008.
