Your favorite place?
Any place along, beside, within, upon the waters
with others you have helped get there!
You joined us nine full years ago when
our boat seemed as if to splinter on the rocks.
Your righted us! Woman at the oars
and a legacy of leadership to carry on!
Your smile, when you let it go when your
eyes dance, goes the killer mile.
And so, in all, we’ve watched you coax, cajole,
implore, extend the most worthy of all Colorado
Conversations. How to become in grace and
beauty a person whose water heart belongs
Among us.

Nicole Seltzer is leaving the Colorado Foundation for Water Education and moving to the Yampa valley. Here’s her announcement from the October edition of Headwaters Pulse:
The time I’ve spent at the helm of the Colorado Foundation for Water Education has given me so much more than I would have ever expected. As the organization grew, so did my leadership and management skills, my community of friends and colleagues and my knowledge of Colorado water issues. I have the utmost respect for this organization, its staff and board, and the village of people who support us both intellectually and financially. Being CFWE’s executive director has been the best job I could have asked for, no question, and I am eternally grateful to the board who, 9 years ago, took a chance on me.
And yet, with all that, I still know that it’s time to turn over the reins to someone new. Someone who can take what we’ve built, infuse it with new energy and ideas, and write the next great chapter for Colorado water education. I am excited to see where CFWE goes next, and what possibilities new leadership will unearth.
Good luck from Coyote Gulch Nicole!
