Meetings

The Workgroup is based on a spirit of collaboration, open exchange of ideas, and respectful dialogue. Members should come to the groups with this philosophy and the intent to advance the science and application of ecological flows throughout the state. The Workgroup will generally meet quarterly but may elect to change the frequency at its discretion. Meetings will be open, informal and consensus driven.
