Paula Stepp

Executive Director

Turning stream management plans into projects is one focus of the Executive Director for the Middle Colorado Watershed Council (MCWC). Paula Stepp, local community activist and previous MCWC board member, took on the position in December 2020 to coordinate water, drought and wildfire-related projects that are part of MCWC’s Integrated Water Management Plan (IWMP) and manage the operations of this important nonprofit.

Paula has resided and worked in the Glenwood area since 1979 as a business consultant, educational promoter, community organizer, and nonprofit advocate with a work history in media and the outdoor industry. When not immersing herself in community activities, she’s happiest outdoors on a bike, in her hiking shoes or on skis. She recently served on Glenwood Springs City Council.
