COLORADO RIVER CITIZENS FORUM
BACKGROUND
The United States Section of the International Boundary and Water Commission (USIBWC) is seeking
applications from individuals interested in serving on the Board for the Colorado River Citizens Forum
(CRCF), a group established to promote the exchange of information regarding USIBWC activities in
Yuma County, Arizona and Imperial County, California. All CRCF meetings are open to the public and
act as a focal point for the exchange of information between the USIBWC and the local community
regarding ongoing and future USIBWC projects in the area. The CRCF is intended to bring together
community members, enabling the early and continued two-way flow of information, concerns, values,
and needs between the USIBWC and the general public, environmentalists, irrigators, government
agencies, municipalities, etc. It is expected that the CRCF Board will consist of about ten volunteer
members representing diverse interests. The Board will meet regularly, approximately three times per
year, to discuss plans and issues related to ongoing and future USIBWC projects. Meetings will be
held at sites alternating between Yuma and Imperial Counties.
