Colorado Canyon Association

Topic:  The Colorado Canyon Association (CCA) is one of the beneficiaries of 2016 Rotary’s Banff Mountain Film Festival and the Club’s generous contribution.  CCA is a membership based organization dedicated to fostering community stewardship for the National Conservation Areas (NCAs) in our region —namely, McInnis Canyons, Dominguez-Escalante and Gunnison Gorge. This program will provide Rotarians with an overview of CCA and a deeper understanding of its organizational mission and community impact. It also gives CCA an opportunity to say thank you for your support.

Bio:  With a degree in Communications from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, a passion for American heritage and western landscapes, and 10 years of non-profit experience, Kate Graham was thrilled to join the CCA team in January of 2016.  She is currently an appointed member of the Citizen Advisory Council for the Dominguez-Escalante NCA and has served on the board of directors for numerous local organizations including the Grand Junction Visitor & Convention Bureau, the Grand Valley Trails Alliance, and the Interpretive Association of Western Colorado. In her spare time, she can be found hiking, biking and boating through the NCAs, honing her sewing skills and enjoying stand-up comedy of all stripes!
