In November 2018, the Big Hole Watershed Committee’s Executive Director of 6+ years, Jen Downing, announced her decision to step down from her position. Over 6 years she poured the foundation for a highly effective organization and re-established the Big Hole Watershed Committee as a model for collaborative natural resource management and the delivery of high-quality restoration projects.
As Jen transitions out, we’ve developed an innovative re-structuring plan to build on her legacy of success, resilience, and community engagement while maximizing the talents of our team. Thank you Jen for your tireless support of our watershed – we wish you the very best!
The Big Hole Watershed Committee’s staff is now:
Pedro Marques- Executive Director. Pedro’s role will be focused on stewarding the organization’s vision and mission, working with our governing board and raising funds and securing grants to sustain the organization and its projects. Pedro will continue to play a key oversight role with our agency and private partners in the delivery of high-quality restoration projects and he will guide strategic partnerships into the future.
Big news! Our very own Jen Downing, Executive Director of the Big Hole Watershed Committee for the last 6+ years, has been awarded the 2019 Montana Watershed Stewardship Award! This is a big deal – the award is only given out every other year to two individuals and/or groups out of the whole state – and boy does Jen deserve it!
