BOARD OF DIRECTORS

You fight for what’s right, you set that vision of where we could be – and then you go after it yourself.
​ — ​Chandini Potteus

​Jensie Madden Honored for her Contribution to Conservation

​Comal County Conservation Alliance honored one of its founders on Thursday, July 22nd at Tye Preston Memorial Library. Jensie Madden was invited to meet with the CCCA Board of Directors after their Thursday board meeting to receive a token of appreciation for her efforts to create and support the local land conservation nonprofit over the past five years. 
 
Jensie, along with two other Hill Country conservation leaders, organized the first public meetings to raise awareness about conservation concerns related to rapid population growth in Comal County. She then helped organize a group of interested residents to form a 501(c)(3) nonprofit to work for preservation of land, water, and wildlife in the county. She served on the founding board of 

 the new organization and was instrumental in establishing and fostering a strong working relationship with local government officials. 
 
Jensie was presented a framed and inscribed photo of a Guadalupe River scene from CCCA President, Elizabeth Bowerman, and was surprised with a permanent, engraved brick in the Library courtyard’s Pathway of Friends. The brick bears the CCCA logo and an inscription reading “Honoring Jensie Madden, Conservationist.” 
 
Also present for the presentation were board members Dick Bigelow, Marné Peterson, Cindy Millichamp, Jane Finneran, and Helen Ballew.
