Columbia Basin Trust (CBT) is introducing four new task forces and inviting the region's residents to apply.
“Since our inception, the people of this region have played a vital role in shaping the Trust and how we deliver benefits to the Basin,” said Johnny Strilaeff, CBT president and CEO. “As we implement the renewed Columbia Basin Management Plan, we remain committed to engaging with the region and are seeking strategic insights and recommendations to help guide our efforts.”
The task forces will focus on four key areas:
• Clean Energy: Exploring energy solutions, including generation, transmission and energy demand.
• Local Food: Increasing access to affordable, healthy and locally grown food while supporting the climate resilience of food production.
• Water: Supporting efforts to manage water quantity and quality.
• Housing: Partnering to develop and maintain housing for low- and moderate-income households.
Each Task Force will include up to eight members, selected for their experience, who will play a pivotal role in shaping the region's future.
CBT is looking for enthusiastic, dedicated individuals with relevant experience to apply to join these task forces on a one-year term. Diverse perspectives are encouraged, including Indigenous peoples within the region.
To join, submit an expression of interest using the online forms by Feb. 27, 2025, at 2 p.m. PST / 3 p.m. MST.
