Martha Davis

Martha Davis was the visionary founder and Executive Director of the Mono Lake Committee. She led this organization in a program to "brand" Mono Lake, and gained national recognition for the Committee's efforts to save Mono Lake. She was particularly successful in building strong political and community alliances with Los Angeles based organizations interested in protecting Mono Lake.

Ms. Davis's expertise as an organizer and water policy advocate have won her a great deal of recognition. She currently serves as the Chair of the CalFed Watershed Committee. She has been a featured speaker at events from the annual POWER conference in Los Angeles to the California State Association of Counties. Ms. Davis is now the Executive Manager of Policy Development for the Inland Empire Utility Agency, which delivers services to "rural" Riverside County. More than 700,000 residents of the Chino Valley receive sanitation and water services through this agency.
