About the Barstow Speaker Series
For eleven years, the Colorado River Alliance’s Barstow Speaker Series has hosted energetic and important conversations about water issues and the future of the Texas Colorado River. In a Barstow event, a recognized speaker or group of panelists shares information about a current issue, followed by a candid question-and-answer session with guests. Guests typically include water leaders, policymakers, academics, and representatives of the business, conservation, and philanthropic communities.
A big THANK YOU goes out to our partner for this event, the Austin Board of Realtors, along with program sponsors Dan & Paula Herd, The Barstow Foundation, Terry McDaniel & Company, and Jim & Katie Kaighin. The event is also supported by the Shield Ranch Foundation and its El Ranchito program and HDR.
