Pamela Tobin

During her first year as ACWA President, Pam achieved what had been talked about for decades, the creation of the ACWA Foundation to serve all Californians by advancing diversity, equity and inclusion within the water industry through education, research, and workforce development.

Pamela Tobin has been a member of the San Juan Water District (SJWD) Board of Directors since 2004, including three terms as Board President. She also has served multiple terms as Chair of both the Sacramento Regional Water Authority (RWA) and the Sacramento Groundwater Authority and was the recipient of RWA’s 2018 Distinguished Service Award.

She was elected Vice President of ACWA in 2019 after serving as Chair of the Region 4 Board in 2018-’19. Tobin chaired the Leadership to Leadership initiative, a virtual meeting series designed especially for member agency leadership to discuss emerging local issues with ACWA’s leadership. She is actively involved in ACWA’s regions and committees and has served as a member of ACWA JPIA’s Executive Committee.

Beyond her water industry involvement, Tobin works as a realtor and property developer with more than 30 years of experience as a business owner. She also runs a rescue for Great Pyrenees.
