The most noticeable and immediate changes will be in our staffing. The Executive Director position has been replaced by shared leadership through the SRWA Board of Directors. Mariana Brewster-Brown will continue her position as part-time Citizen Involvement Coordinator. She will staff the SRWA office on a limited basis, handle day-to-day operations, and continue the citizen water quality monitoring program. Kevin Brewster continue in his role as Restoration Manager, but as a contractor to SRWA rather than employee. The SRWA office remains open with no changes in phone or email.
These changes are necessary because the grant funding that supports our programs and positions is competitive, unpredictable, and is currently insufficient to maintain organizational solvency. Please know that we have carefully considered the options to remain a financially secure nonprofit and fiscally responsible to our members.

As we transition to this new organizational model, our members, donors, and community of volunteers will be increasingly important. We look forward to your support as we step up to this challenge.
