We are the only group solely focused on the Dolores River landscape and we are dedicated to working collaboratively toward lasting solutions. We help bring people together around complicated issues facing the Dolores River and we serve as a voice for the river. We educate the public and provide valuable recreational information to those rafting the Dolores River. Our collaboration with other groups in Colorado and our leadership in local conversations about the Dolores River has made us a strong and relevant organization locally and regionally. Advocacy, Long-term Protection Work: Our advocacy work is focused on securing long-term protection for the Dolores River Corridor below McPhee Reservoir, and guarding against potential damaging proposals related to the river and adjacent public land. DRBA made significant progress in 2022 on the designating of a National Conservation Area that would protect a portion of the lower Dolores River including 76 river miles and almost 70,000 acres. Legislation was introduced in both the Senate and House in the summer. The Senate Natural Resources Committee held a hearing on the bill in the fall, and it came very close to passing in December. We also coordinated the Dolores River Coalition which is made up of local, regional, and national conservation and recreation organizations that have an interest in protecting the Dolores River. In 2022 we were appointed as the co-chair of the Native Fish Monitoring and Recommendation Team which works to benefit the river environment downstream of McPhee Reservoir. Stewardship and Partnership Work: Operating within our established MOUs, in 2022 we continued to partner with three Bureau of Land Management field offices spanning four counties to engage in stewardship activities to benefit the Dolores River. Specifically, DRBA coordinated and conducted our annual river campsite maintenance and monitoring on the lower Dolores in partnership with the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to improve campsite visibility, quality, and recreational safety. We also organized and hosted a restoration planting project with local youth at the Bradfield Bridge Recreation Area. These two projects combined engaged over 30 volunteers with the Dolores River landscape. In 2022 we also started supporting the USFS by providing a bathroom for the 5-month high use period at a popular river take-out adjacent to the town of Dolores. We continued to financially support the maintenance of a USGS river gauge at Slick Rock which is important for both recreational and ecological purposes. Education Programming:Our River School youth and family education programs continued to grow and diversify in 2022. We dramatically increased the number of youth and family members served, growing engagement from 268 in 2021 to 638 in 2022. This included youth and family river trips, school field trips, and in-class programing. We also continued our Paddle Day program with the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe to provided fun paddle experiences in partnership with the Tribes summer youth program. In 2022 we launched a new week-long immersive summer camp program for middle school age youth and it was an incredible success. All of this programming is provided at no cost to youth, families, and schools. Much of this work was conducted as part of our partnership with the Montezuma Inspire Coalition, which has a goal of getting all youth in Montezuma County outdoors. These programs are impacting youth in local communities in a meaningful way and inspiring future stewards of the river. We engaged 21 volunteers during the implementation of our youth programs in 2022.Outreach and Education: DRBA celebrated our 10th anniversary in 2022 and hosted a looking back/looking forward event for our members and supporters. Over one hundred people joined us to cheer our accomplishments, learn more about what we do, and to look to the future of our organization. Five volunteers helped with this event. We held our annual Permit Party and Silent Auction Fundraiser online again due to the pandemic. This included an evening of online outreach and education programming combined with music and entertainment. Though the event was online, we engaged 15 volunteers for planning, setup and cleanup, programs, and production of the event. We continued selling the new official Dolores River Guide for the Dolores River that we released in 2021. The guide includes a unique education and outreach section, including information about advocacy work on the Dolores River. The proceeds from selling the guide will be used to produce the next version of the guide. We were a sponsor of and participated in the Dolores River Festival in 2022 after it had been cancelled for two years. We typically provide free raft rides for community members as part of this event. Due to low flows the raft rides were cancelled at the last minute, but we had 24 volunteers signed up to help with that effort. 203594 true true false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 5 0 true 4 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 10 10 false false false false false false false true false false false true true false true true true true false false X Amber Clark 9707998704 740 N Beech Street Cortez CO 81321 Amber Clark Executive Dir. 40.00 0.00 X 74103 0 0 Rica Fulton Director 3.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Joshua Munson President 6.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Jay Loschert Director 6.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Christina Callicot Vice President 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Ashleigh Tucker Director 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Bruce Saxman Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jon Kelly Secretary 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Kat Wilder Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jeremy Christensen Director 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Bob Gleason Treasurer 6.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 74103 0 false false false 0 232624 854 232624 Outdoor School Lessons 31800 31800 31800 192 192 0 0 0 0 53393 24031 29362 29362 0 2949 2551 398 398 Other Revenue 500 500 500 294876 32492 29760 0 0 0 0 74103 62988 7410 3705 0 85144 72372 8515 4257 7315 6218 731 366 534 454 53 27 12928 10988 1294 646 0 0 2595 2595 0 0 0 1045 1045 12040 12040 4346 4346 957 957 0 7651 2085 5443 123 10897 10897 0 848 848 0 0 0 1603 1603 Youth Programs 30455 30455 Employee Cell Phone Reimbursement 2368 2013 237 118 Outreach Events 1851 1851 Contract Labor 1635 1635 4104 3273 831 262419 203594 37543 21282 26001 33376 124083 149275 0 0 0 0 0 11713 10912 3570 4602 0 0 0 0 0 0 165367 198165 118 261 650 848 768 1109 X 164599 197056 164599 197056 165367 198165 32457 X false false false X 128266 83982 122379 132690 232624 699941 0 0 128266 83982 122379 132690 232624 699941 0 699941 127 115 121 192 555 0 0 700496 0.99920 0.99930 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 2590 false false 2590 2590 139036 141626 28325 7081 false 23948 27617 28325 79890 119835 672 3229 2590 6491 5987 6904 7081 19972 29958 672 3229 2590 6491 Part I-A, Line 1 - Direct and Indirect Political Campaign Activities DRBA made significant progress in 2022 on the designating of a National Conservation Area that would protect a portion of the lower Dolores River including 76 river miles and almost 70,000 acres.

In connection with any actual or possible conflicts of interest, an interested person must disclose the existence of his or her financial interest and must be given the opportunity to disclose all material facts to the directors and members of committees with governing board delegated powers considering the proposed transaction or arrangement. 2. Determining Whether a Conflict of Interest Exists. After disclosure of the financial interest and all material facts, and after any discussion with the interested person, he or she shall leave the governing board or committee meeting while the determination of a conflict of interest is discussed and voted upon. The remaining board or committee members shall decide if a conflict of interest exists. 3. Procedures for Addressing the Conflict of Interest (a) An interested person may make a presentation at the governing board or committee meeting, but after such presentation, he or she shall leave the meeting during the discussion of, and the vote on, the transaction or arrangement involving the possible conflict of interest. (b) The chairperson of the governing board or committee shall, if appropriate, appoint a disinterested person or committee to investigate alternatives to the proposed transaction or arrangement. (c) After exercising due diligence, the governing board or committee shall determine whether DRBA can obtain with reasonable efforts a more advantageous transaction or arrangement from a person or entity that would not give rise to a conflict of interest. (d) If a more advantageous transaction or arrangement is not reasonably attainable under circumstances not producing a conflict of interest, the governing board or committee shall determine by a majority vote of the disinterested directors or disinterested members of the committee whether the transaction or arrangement is in DRBA best interest and for its own benefit, and whether the transaction is fair and reasonable to DRBA, and shall make its decision as to whether to enter into the transaction or arrangement in conformity with such determination. 4. Violations of the Conflicts of Interest Policy (a) If the governing board or committee has reasonable cause to believe that a member has failed to disclose actual or possible conflicts of interest, it shall inform the member of the basis for such belief and afford the member an opportunity to explain the alleged failure to disclose. (b) If, after hearing the response of the member and making such further investigation as may be warranted in the circumstances, the governing board or committee determines that the member has in fact failed to disclose an actual or possible conflict of interest, it shall take appropriate disciplinary and corrective action including, but not limited to, disqualification of the member from certain deliberations or removal from the board.
