Board & Advisory Council

Board & Advisors

The Des Moines Water Works Park Foundation Board of Directors members serve voluntarily. They represent a cross-section of park users and the next generation of community leadership. To successfully complete a project of this size and scope and create a template for implementing future large community initiatives, the Board is surrounded by an experienced group of advisors. These advisors mentor, support, and serve as a sounding board for the Board and staff.
