- Page 10SACRAMENTO, CA--- The California Farm Water Coalition is pleased to announce the selec- tion of Michelle Paul as its next executive director. Ms. Paul will replace Mike Wade, who is retir- ing in February from his role as the Coalition's executive director, a position he has held since 1998. Ms. Paul was selected following a comprehensive statewide search led by the Coalition's executive di- rector selection committee, which considered a strong and diverse field of candidates from across California. She will join the Co- alition in mid-January and assume full responsibilities on March 1. "We were fortunate to meet with a number of exceptional individu- als who demonstrated a deep com- mitment to California agriculture and the vital role water plays in keeping our food system strong," said Greg Johnson, President of the California Farm Water Coali- tion. "We are grateful to each of the highly qualified candidates who applied. Their expertise, pas- sion, and vision were inspiring." Johnson continued, "Michelle brings nearly two decades of ex- perience working alongside farm- ers and ranchers to elevate their voices in state and federal policy conversations. Her understanding of California's agricultural land- scape paired with her strategic communications and outreach background makes her well-po- sitioned to lead the Coalition into its next chapter."
