We warmly welcome our UCOWR 2024-20254 Board President, Dr. Jeffrey Peterson. Jeff is the Director of the University of Minnesota Water Resources Center and is also a professor in the Department of Applied Economics at the university. He has served on the UCOWR Board of Directors since July 2020, and was the Chair for our 2020 Conference, cancelled due to the pandemic. Not to be discouraged, he has actively served on the board ever since and is chairing the conference planning committee for our 2025 UCOWR/NIWR Annual Water Resources Conference.
