Description
The WCC’s day-to-day management falls under an annual contract between the Southern Nevada Water Authority and Faiss Foley Warren Public Relations and Government Affairs, (FFW), under the leadership of Susan Black-Manriquez, who services as WCC Executive Director and works directly with SNWA staff and management.
The WCC is not a 501-(c)(3) organization. At the approval of SNWA management, the WCC is allowed to utilize the Springs Preserve Foundation, a 501 (c)(3) for fundraising purposes - with strict oversight and management of donor funds for WCC projects.
The WCC operates with an Executive Committee rather than a Board of Directors. The Executive Committee is currently comprised of 11 members including a Chairman, Vice Chairman, Secretary, Treasurer and Immediate Past Chairman. The Executive Committee meets monthly and all members, with the exception of SNWA and FFW staff, are unpaid volunteers.
