About the Coquille Watershed Association
The Coquille Watershed Association (CoqWA), is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that was
formed by a small group of local citizens who were concerned about the health of the watershed and
its fish and wildlife resources. Since that humble beginning, CoqWA has established restoration,
monitoring, and educational programming that is valued and supported throughout the watershed.
Our mission is to work collaboratively with landowners to develop and implement voluntary
watershed restoration, enhancement, and engagement activities that promote healthy and resilient
ecosystems and economies in the Coquille watershed. CoqWA is supported by a diverse volunteer
Board of Directors representing landowners, business owners, and community members.
Here at CoqWA, we value our collaborative, supportive workplace culture that contributes to our
success in accomplishing high value, high impact projects throughout the watershed. By applying to
work with us, you have the opportunity to join a small but mighty staff team working cohesively to
enhance our organization and our watershed.
Position Summary

watershed. As a member of the supervisory team, the MPC will assist the Director and Board in

strategic plan as well as the broader Coquille Coho Strategic Action Plan. The MPC will expand
