In presenting the award, Drew McIntyre of North Marin Water District commended Judith for her enthusiastic support of BAWWA by consistently raising her hand to tackle those assignments that no one else would take on. Judith served as the engineering representative on the Board for several years, the Historian for 2007 and 2008, and the Social Committee Chair for 2009 and 2010. As the Social Committee Chair, Judith coordinated two annual golf tournaments, which is the main fund raiser for the BAWWA scholarship program.
