Meet our Water Champion of the week, Rosalind Atkins. With a tenure spanning 27 years, Rosalind has been an indispensable member of our Board Support Team. Metropolitan’s 38-member Board of Directors sets the policies that will provide water supply reliability for Southern California. For 27 years, Rosalind Atkins has been part of the Board Support Team, which serves as the critical link between Metropolitan’s staff and the district’s board of directors, who are appointed by each of its 26 member water agencies. The Board Support Team ensures that directors receive the necessary information to make informed decisions on programs, projects and policies. Throughout Rosalind’s tenure , she has managed a wide range of responsibilities, including archiving of board documents, coordinating board travel and logistics, and helping to facilitate meetings. Rosalind started her career at Metropolitan in Human Resources. After her first year, she has exclusively been a member of the Board Support Team and is currently its longest-serving member. She enjoys her role so much that she can't imagine working in any other department. #WaterChampions #WorkerMonday
