About the WMAs of Iowa
Purpose and Goals
WMAs of Iowa was created to enable WMA-to-WMA exchanges and be an information resource for the latest news and research, funding opportunities, and curriculum in watershed restoration. WMAs of Iowa seeks to:
- Unite WMAs for further advancement in the state
- Share resources, ideas, and best practices
- Provide support to members through technical assistance and celebrating successes
- Build and support ongoing public-private partnerships for success
Organizational Structure
The structure of the group is a two-tier management system:
- Every WMA gets a vote in major procedural changes of additions (i.e. amendment of bylaws, board member appointments, approval of slate of officers).
- From the membership, a smaller Board of Directors (7-13 members) is voted for which to direct day-to-day operations of the organization (i.e. planning the annual meeting, driving content to the website or other communications).
WMAs of Iowa Membership (Updated December 2017)
Each WMA should appoint a representative (and one alternate) who will receive communication from the Board of Directors and serve as a liaison between their WMA and the Board. This representative will also be the designee to cast votes for matters of business or governance that come before the member WMAs.
