Since 1994, our dedicated and diverse Board of Directors and Advisory Board has guided CRK in its transformation from a scrappy group of paddlers, scientists, anglers and environmental activists to a respected, but still scrappy, organization that has won many victories for the people and wildlife in the Chattahoochee River Basin.
