2024 Operator Certification Board Vacancy

The Water and Wastewater Facility Operators Certification Board (WWFOCB) is a 10-member rulemaking body with oversight responsibility for the operator certification program, Regulation 100, and supporting policies. Members are appointed by the governor to serve four-year terms. The board usually meets up to 10 times a year for half-day meetings. There will also be opportunities for day-long training sessions. While board members volunteer their time, they are entitled to reimbursement of travel expenses.

Currently, there is a vacancy on the WWFOCB for a person that meets at least one of these criteria:

• A city manager, manager of a special district, or utility manager in a city, county, or city and county that operates a domestic water or wastewater treatment facility. This board member is not required to be a certified operator. 

The most effective board members have a strong interest in supporting public health and environmental protection through the operator certification program. They are good listeners who can articulate their perspectives in a professional and respectful way. When there is a difference of opinions, effective board members work toward building consensus.

If you are interested in serving on the WWFOCB, and you meet the criteria for the vacancy, please contact the board office at cdphe.wwfocb@state.co.us for more information. 

The application is available online at the Governor’s Office of Boards and Commissions.
