Lake Forest, CA — The El Toro Water District (ETWD) recently appointed Laguna Woods resident Kay Havens to its Board of Directors. She fills a vacancy opened after former Board of Directors member Scott F. Goldman moved from the district.
“We’re thrilled to have such a qualified community member fill this role. Her local involvement and water quality knowledge are synergistic with ETWD’s mission”, stated Bob Hill, General Manager.
With a highly qualified academic and leadership background, Havens brings ample expertise to her new role.

Additionally, she completed the Teacher Education program at UCI obtaining a K-12 teaching credential. Her involvement with the University of California Cooperative Extension and Masters Gardeners of Orange County and Speakers Bureau, have allowed her to develop state and international award-winning public education programs. She also serves on the Board of Directors for the Great Park Garden Coalition.
“Time and time again Kay has shown leadership in the community. We are fortunate that Kay will be part of our Board” said Board President Jose Vergara. “We can only benefit from her expertise in public education programs, community engagement, and many other areas.
