QRWA: the people behind the acronym

One staff member and an all volunteer board of directors run the organization, aided by a consulting scientist  and summer interns. The board welcomes public involvement and participation for all who share QRWA's goal of a restored Quinnipiac River. To volunteer or contact a board member please click on "contact" in the upper right hand corner of the page or feel free to email a committee person directly.
