The Cape Fear River Assembly
(CFRA) was founded in 1973 and has grown to include a membership
from Greensboro and High Point to Wilmington with a 39 member Board
of Directors. The Assembly membership and the board are made
up of representatives from throughout the Cape Fear River Basin
and with varying interests including environmental and conservation
organizations, academia, small business and industry, government
(local, state, and federal), and the general public
Mission
The Mission of the CFRA is to provide
for the highest quality of life possible for the residents of the
Cape Fear River Basin, through the proper management of the Cape
Fear River, its tributaries, and adjacent land uses. This mission
will be accomplished through our support of efforts to investigate,
educate and effectuate. Scientific study coupled with economic
analyses will provide the information needed to make the best possible
decisions regarding this river system and its uses. Education will
provide for a better informed public and thereby improved stewardship
of the river system as a resource. Then finally, development of
policy will bring into effect the benefits of the information and
education.
Bylaws
The CFRA has adopted formal bylaws to guide the
