Last month our newest program for 24 leaders committed to solving California’s most pressing water management challenges kicked off in Santa Cruz. Participants in the Water Solutions Network built relationships with and learned more about each other via introductions, engaged in the logic study of the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary and learned about group decision making tools including Dot Voting and Fist to Five. The Water Solutions Network is organized in partnership with Water Education for Latino Leaders and DIG IN, sponsored by S. D. Bechtel, Jr. Foundation.
