Join us for an insightful conversation with former employee of the State Water Board, Max Gomberg.
Max Gomberg's resignation last year sparked controversy as he publicly criticized Governor Gavin Newsom's inaction on climate change and water resilience. Max pointed to the Governor’s dismissal of Water Board President Felicia Marcus after she led the adoption of Phase 1 of the Bay Delta Water Quality Control Plan as a primary reason for leaving the agency.
Regarding his colleagues at the Water Board, Max wrote: “The way some of you have simply rolled over and accepted this has also been difficult to watch.”
During this conversation, Max will share his unique insights into the inner workings of the State Water Board and the challenges he faced during his tenure. He'll shed light on the reasons behind his resignation and the difficulties he encountered in advocating for strategies to make California more water resilient.
We will also provide valuable advice to viewers on how to get involved and take action in upcoming state water board hearings. Don't miss this opportunity to gain an insider's perspective and learn how you can make a difference in shaping California's water future.
