The commissioner also serves as a non-voting member of the board of directors of the (CADA), created in 1981 to make financing available for farmers and other agricultural enterprises due to the high cost and lack of available agricultural loans, and the insufficiency of gainful employment in rural areas.[3] CADA board members are also ex officio members (the commissioner is a non-voting member) of the (CAVADB), which make grants, loans, loan guarantees and equity investments concerning rural Colorado.
The (CSCB) is composed of representatives of Colorado's ten watersheds, representing Colorado's seventy-six conservation districts.[4]
