Leadership Development Dinner
A Leadership Development Dinner hosted by the Klamath Watershed Partnership and sponsored by the Network of Oregon Watershed Councils was held at the Chiloquin Community Center, 140 South First Street, in Chiloquin, on Wednesday, December 1, 2010, from 5:00 pm - 8:00 pm. This dinner was well attended by landowners, partners and community leaders within the Upper Klamath Basin.
The purpose of the meeting was to identify potential leaders for the Partnership, to help us remain a viable organization promoting ecosystem health and landowner sustainability in the Klamath Basin. Leadership comes in many forms, from volunteering to servve on the Board of Directors to being a contact point within the community that neighbors can go to for information. With the challenges and opportunties facing the Basin, a broad based, diverse leadership pool from which to draw is essential. Our leadership only works if we have the involvement of landowners, partners and community leaders.
Speakers for the evening were Tom Byler, Executive Director of the Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board, who spoke about the importance of cooperative conservation; and Tom O'Brien, Executive Dirctor of the Network of Oregon Watershed Councils, who spoke about the roles, responsibilities of the Wateshed Council leadership team.
