ARCANA on the Colorado
VOICES TO THE VISION

Over the past twelve years, the following people and organizations have offered brainstorming, insight, and profound thought to the concept that has evolved as ARCANA or version thereof.  A number have chosen to remain actively involved. Others keep abreast of developments and indicate that they are willing to be contacted when plans develop in their area of expertise. Others have been more recently involved and others come to the table periodically.

As you read the names and cross reference with letters/articles/concepts/rationales etc etc know these people are available to personally give you their further thinking on the opportunity proposed by a themed concept on and of the Colorado River
