The California Farm Water Coalition is pleased to announce the selection of Michelle Paul as its next executive director. Ms. Paul will replace Mike Wade, who is retiring in February from his role as the Coalition’s executive director, a position he has held since 1998. Ms. Paul was selected following a comprehensive statewide search led by the Coalition’s executive director selection committee, which considered a strong and diverse field of candidates from across California. She will join the Coalition in mid-January and assume full responsibilities on March 1.
