We are pleased to welcome Mark E. Falcone as the new Director for Division 2. Mr. Falcone ran in a special election for the San Bernardino Valley Water Conservation District Board on November 5, 2024 and replaces former Director David Raley who passed away several months ago. Director Falcone brings to the district 35 years of business management experience from the private sector. He currently serves as a Commissioner on the Community Advisory Commission for the East Valley Water District and has lived in Highland for 31 years.
In a pre-election interview for CommunityForwardRedlands.com, Falcone said, “I see my role as a board member as implementing and overseeing strategies to protect and manage our water resources, by developing policies, promoting water conservation best practices, educating the public and advocating for sustainable water use within the district’s service area.” He went on to reflect on ways to balance our need for water with environmental concerns: “I am committed to collaborating with staff and fellow board members in championing solutions that respect both our humanity and our environment while safeguarding this life sustaining resource for generations to come.”
