Call for State Ambassadors

The Western Chapter International Erosion Control Association (WCIECA) is organized as a 501c(3) not-for-profit corporation to unite interested parties into a group for the discovery, collection, preservation, and dissemination of knowledge toward the attainment of effective and economical methods of preventing erosion and sedimentation. Chapter membership is comprised of individuals located or doing business in Arizona, Hawaii, Nevada, and California who are members of the International Erosion Control Association (IECA).

The Western Chapter includes diversity of the regions that have different regulatory agencies, soil types, vegetation, and rainfall conditions. All of which are significant to the erosion control professional. The Western Chapter is committed to providing information and training opportunities to the members in all of the Chapter’s regions

In 2007 the Chapter will launch the Western Chapter State Ambassador Program to help ensure that the issues important in each of the Chapter’s states are represented in the planning and activities of the Chapter. Each state in the chapter’s region will have an ambassador who will work closely with the Chapter Directors. The goal of the program is for the ambassadors to help identify issues, training needs, and regulatory changes, in each of the states; to help coordinate activities within his or her state; and to serve as a local point of contact for members from his or her state.

The Chapter Directors will appoint ambassadors based on self-nomination. The inaugural slate of Ambassadors will help to create the program goals and flesh-out the role of the Ambassadors. Peter McRae ( ), Administrative Vice President, will lead this initiative for the Chapter. If you are interested in serving as a State Ambassador, please submit a self-nomination in the form of a brief statement of interest by Friday, March 16th to Sandy Mathews ( ),Chapter Secretary, that addresses why you would like to serve as an ambassador including how long you have been a Chapter member and the issues that you believe are important to members from your state.
