The Meader Endowment Fund was started in 2017 with generous donations from Mick Meader, Daniel Baker, and other CCA members.  The Meader Endowment Fund is a board-created endowment that serves as cash reserves for CCA as well as a fund from which to support conservation-oriented projects. The fund is managed by CCA’s Conservation Committee.

If you have a conservation project idea, please refer to the CCA Meader Conservation Endowment Guidelines and then contact us.

Norman “Mick” Meader passed away in Tucson, Arizona on February 10, 2017. Mick put into practice his love and passion for this land by his conservation work. After his retirement from the UA geology department he became wedded to working for the conservation of this valley. For years he routinely donated forty hours and more per week of skilled labor. The SunZia powerline proposal was his largest project, but there were always a dozen other conservation issues that he would report on in his conservation committee summaries at seasonal members’ meeting. Mick became CCA’s co-president as well as chairperson of the conservation program and was our face to many people and groups in southern Arizona. His gentle manner, incredible generosity, passion, hard work and competence were a great tribute to our association and to its founding values and practices.
