News release: Assembly appoints Maria Mehranian to the council
California Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon has appointed Maria Mehranian to the Delta Stewardship Council, effective May 5, 2023. This is her second appointment to the Council. Mehranian served as a Senate-appointed Council member from 2018 to 2022. “Maria’s understanding of the issues at hand and strategic approach in responding to them make her an asset to the Council,” says Chair Virginia Madueño.” I couldn’t be happier to lead a fully-staffed membership of leaders from across our state whose unique areas of expertise diversify and strengthen our ability to advance the coequal goals.” Of the Council’s seven members, four are appointed by the Governor, one each by the State Senate and Assembly, and the seventh is the chair of the Delta Protection Commission.
