ACWA President Paul Kelley says, “Greg Zlotnick is in a class by himself when it comes to sustained involvement and dedication over the years.” Zlotnick’s involvement in the issues surrounding water management in California was inspired by his CSS honors thesis, “Rivers of Controversy: California Water Politics, A Primer.” Zlotnick served over 10 years as an elected member of the Board of the Santa Clara Valley Water District, Silicon Valley’s water management agency, chairs ACWA’s Groundwater Committee, and is in his 13th year on the ACWA Board of Directors. After receiving a BA from the College of Social Studies at Wesleyan, Zlotnick graduated from the University of California, Hastings College of Law, and became a member of the California bar.
