Provide leadership and management of BAWSCA’s activities.

Effectively engage with staff, legal counsel, and external consultants and advisors to leverage expertise and experience.
Engage member agencies to provide expertise and necessary input to BAWSCA including negotiating agreements among member agencies when needed and appropriate.

Ideal Candidate
The ideal candidate will have a wide-ranging set of skills and experiences. There is no one set path to this role, but it is clear what the role requires:
Negotiation : First, the role requires honed negotiation skills. The incumbent will be constantly negotiating the disparate and potentially conflicting interests of its members as well as with the SFPUC, which owns and manages the Regional Water System.
Perspective : Next, the ideal candidate must understand the significance of this role. Through its enabling legislation, BAWSCA is charged by the State to represent the collective water interests of its members and their water customers. Additionally, BAWSCA is responsible for ensuring the Regional Water System continues to meet the needs of its members and their water customers.

The next BAWSCA CEO/GM must excel in diplomatic, clear, concise yet persuasive writing necessary for legislative advocacy, successful negotiations and public relations.
Commitment : Finally, BAWSCA is seeking a candidate who can commit to BAWSCA for the long haul. BAWSCA recognizes the benefit long-tenured staff and leadership bring to the results the agency can deliver for the water customer.

ABOUT BAWSCA
Headquartered in San Mateo, CA, BAWSCA plays a vital and unique role in the well-being of over 1.8 million residents of the San Francisco Peninsula, South and East-Bay regions. Its mandate is to safeguard high-quality water for its 26 constituent member agencies and the water customers they serve by representing their collective wholesale water interests as a part of the San Francisco Hetch Hetchy Regional Water System (Regional Water System). It is unique that these 1.8 million residents are dependent on a system that is wholly owned and managed by the City and County of San Francisco, with no elected representation from the 26 constituent member agencies or their water customers. Thus, in order to ensure that its constituents are assured of a structurally safe, reliable and equitable water system, BAWSCA was formed.
BAWSCA’s outgoing CEO/GM is retiring. After a long tenure of strong leadership, including the development of a highly skilled and effective staff, BAWSCA is in search of an outstanding and highly experienced member of the water community to ensure BAWSCA’s continued success as a results-driven organization.
