We will kick off this month’s zoom meeting with a report on the Holiday Fundraiser Results and the 2020 WFFC Budget vs. Actuals end-of-year financials, then Sarah Cloud will talk to us about the Deschutes River Alliance and its mission.

The Deschutes River Alliance is a science-based advocacy organization seeking collaborative solutions to basin-wide threats to the health of the Deschutes River and its tributaries. We advocate for water quality, a healthy ecosystem, and for the establishment and protection of robust populations of resident and anadromous fish throughout the river’s entire watershed.

Executive Director Sarah Cloud joined the organization in June, 2019. She brought to the organization over 20 years of nonprofit experience.

Board President Greg McMillan is a retired market/business development and clinical science director for GlaxoSmithKline pharmaceutical company.  He is a founding board member of the DRA.

Sarah and Greg will provide an update on the current status of the river based on the DRA scientific monitoring. They will also provide on update on our current legal and advocacy work including their Clean Water Act lawsuit.
