Volunteers… the Strength of CCA Texas

It has been said many times that the strength of an organization is a reflection of its volunteer base. CCA Texas is successful because of its local, state and national volunteer boards and a dedication from these men and women that is matched by few. The efforts of this great volunteer base have allowed CCA Texas to continue a rich history that includes many great projects, strong advocacy and the offer of continuing education for many young stewards of our coastal resources.

How does one describe the drive and reason for being involved as a volunteer? Manny Villanueva, of the Austin chapter board, recently described to the Austin membership why he is involved and why it is important that we all get involved to help ensure Texas' coastal resources for future generations. The footprints we leave today will be seen by future generations and will be our legacy. Take time to read Manny's thoughts below and ask yourself: "How can I help"?
