The Colorado River has helped shape the growth and prosperity of Arizona and the Southwest, but the river is entering a consequential new chapter.
Join us at Venture Café Phoenix for a timely conversation with Terry Goddard, President of the Central Arizona Water Conservation District Board of Directors, exploring the current state of the Colorado River, the challenges and decisions ahead, and what they mean for Arizona’s water future.
With major decisions about the future management of the Colorado River underway, water remains one of the most important issues shaping Arizona’s communities, economy, agriculture, and continued growth. President Goddard will share insights into the role of the Central Arizona Project, the realities facing the Colorado River system today, and how Arizona is preparing for the future.
Designed for a broad community audience, this session will help make a complex and often technical issue more accessible while providing an opportunity to hear directly from one of Arizona’s water leaders.
The presentation will be followed by audience Q&A.
