Therese Stix has been appointed by its Board of Directors as Vice President of the United States Committee on Irrigation and Drainage. USCID’s mission is to promote progressive and sustainable irrigation, drainage, and flood control practices in support of food and fiber production and public safety, recognizing that sustainability embodies economic, social, and environmental goals. Therese was appointed to this position after stepping in to help USCID launch after a hiatus during the non-conference years of COVID and the retirement of the past executive director.
Therese grew up on a row crop farm in eastern Oregon, is passionate about agricultural customs and culture, and continues to support farming and ranching operations in her law practice. As Vice President, Therese will continue to take an active role in supporting the USCID’s mission while bringing the organization back online.
In addition, USCID is in the process of on boarding Jane Townsend from Ag Association Management Services to assist in promoting and pursuing USCID’s mission post-COVID. We are excited to have Jane assisting us and are currently planning our next conference to take place in Fort Collins, Colorado April 25-28, 2023. We hope to see you there!
