Dear Greater Edwards Aquifer Alliance members and friends,
We are pleased to announce that the Hill Country Alliance has joined GEAA as our 34th member group. Although we have worked with HCA for many years now, we are thrilled to be working more closely in this new capacity with such a talented group of folks!
Tomorrow our member groups will be meeting via Zoom (darn covid!) to set GEAA’s agenda for 2022. These annual meetings direct GEAA staff in the scope of work needed to address our common concerns. This is especially important in preparation for next year’s legislative session. They are also a great opportunity for our folks to learn about what their fellow GEAA groups are up to.
In addition to collaborations and programs needed to support our member groups, GEAA staff, interns, and volunteers will continue to work on research projects and policy recommendations that underpin our agenda. We have some very interesting projects for 2022, including a pilot project with the City of San Antonio to determine how we might enhance the capacity of our public parklands to infiltrate stormwater and sequester carbon in order to help San Antonio meet its Climate Action Goals. We will be keeping you up to date on issues and actions with regular e-mails from me and reports from Brendan during the coming year.
I am grateful for your support – which makes all of this possible. Look for your annual membership renewal letter in the mail around the second week of February. If you are not yet a GEAA member, we invite you to join us. I hope to hear from you soon.
Have a wonderful weekend!
