We are pleased to have chosen Amy Beatie to lead the Colorado Water Trust at this pivotal moment in its history. CWT has a solid history of water conservation efforts, including projects that range from water rights acquisitions to structural conservation solutions to education and outreach to large-scale watershed collaboration. But, CWT aspires to accomplish even greater achievements. We believe Amy is well-suited to take on the challenges that lie ahead and create even greater water conservation successes in the future.
Amy graduated from Dartmouth College in 1993 and the University of Denver College of Law in 2000, with an emphasis in environmental law. Amy comes to the Colorado Water Trust with six years of experience in water and environmental litigation. Prior to practicing water litigation, she clerked for the Honorable Gregory J. Hobbs of the Colorado Supreme Court and served as a staff attorney at the Wyoming Outdoor Council, a non-profit conservation organization. In her short time as Executive Director, she has already applied her wide array of knowledge and skills to accelerate the pace of water conservation in Colorado in ways that respond to the state’s unique water allocation system and its challenges.
