IWAC BYLAWS Updated 2021
ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION
IWAC organizers agreed at the outset that consensus based decision making was essential for collaboration across a region which, while it may be divided by political boundaries, depends on a “sole source aquifer.” Citizens of the region may live in one state and work in the other state and for over 500,000 people the Spokane Valley Rathdrum Prairie Aquifer is their only source of drinking water.
IWAC organizers engaged in a year of discussions to develop the operating agreements that are the basis of the Bylaws and Articles of Incorporation and by which the Idaho Washington Aquifer Collaborative operates as a legal entity.
