Gathering Waters Conservancy's former executive
director, Vicki Elkin, was a member of Governor Doyle's Working
Lands Steering Committee. From July 2005-July 2006, this diverse
group took a comprehensive look at ways to preserve working land
critical for agriculture, forestry, recreation, and tourism. While
on the committee, Vicki helped craft the inclusion of a state-wide
Purchase of Development Rights Program as part of the committee's
recommendations.
