Gov. Newsom’s Water Portfolio Director Will Speak

Among the other presenters are Fresno State political science professor Thomas Holyoke, Water Education Foundation Executive Director Jennifer Bowles, and Sarge Green, who is associate director for water resources and policy initiatives for the California State University system.
All of the speakers and panel members, as well as the agenda schedule, are at this link.
