Moulton Niguel Welcomes New Board Members Sherry Wanninger & Diane Rifkin 

Moulton Niguel Water District has welcomed two new members to its seven-member Board of Directors.

In December, Sherry Wanninger began her first term as an elected member of the Board, replacing retiring Director Gary Kurtz. At its January monthly meeting, the Board unanimously voted to appoint Diane Rifkin to fill the vacant seat previously held by Director Kelly Jennings, who resigned after her successful election to the Laguna Niguel City Council.

“We’re honored to welcome Sherry Wanninger and Diane Rifkin to our Board of Directors,” said Moulton Niguel President Brian S. Probolsky. “Both are incredibly talented leaders who will help Moulton Niguel offer the best service at the lowest rates.”
