Bio:
Jill Duerig joined Rotary in 2003 and has served in many leadership capacities, including most recently as Lieutenant Governor-Avenues of Service from 2021-2023. Jill is a retired General Manager of Zone 7 Water Agency in Livermore and a former General Manager/Chief Engineer for Scotts Valley Water District. It’s no surprise that her passion for potable water got her involved in the Haiti National Clean Water Sanitation and Hygiene Strategy (HANWASH, a partnership between Rotary’s WASH Rotary Action Group, other NGOs and the government of Haiti). She is also a current member of the Ohlone College Foundation Board, former member of the Association of California Water Agencies (ACWA) board of directors, and former board president of the California Urban Water Agencies (CUWA). She is a member of the California Bar, a registered professional engineer, and a certified water treatment plant operator. Her husband of fifty years, Tom, started out as her college sweetheart. They have three married children and six grandchildren.
