A good time was had by all at Colorado water’s premiere annual event, where CFWE board president Eric Hecox (far right) and executive director Nicole Seltzer (second from right) presented awards to Governor John Hickenlooper (far left) and San Luis Valley Water Conservancy District manager Heather Dutton (second from left) in honor of their leadership.

This year, CFWE has renamed its President’s Award as the Diane Hoppe Leadership Award to honor the late Diane Hoppe, CFWE’s founding president and previous President’s Award recipient. In 2016, we are proud to recognize Governor John Hickenlooper with this award for lifetime achievement in water education and Heather Dutton of the San Luis Valley Water Conservation District with the Emerging Leader Award. The awards were presented during CFWE’s annual reception on May 20 at the Space Gallery in Denver.
