SUMMARY:Connecting with Your Community: Bridging the Gap Between Operations and Communication
DESCRIPTION:Communication with community members can be challenging due to staff and time constraints and lack of resources; however\, you can engage with your community about your utility in easy\, efficient ways. Existing resources\, basic understanding of communication techniques\, and a little planning can strengthen your communication strategies. This session will build on the basis that an informed community will support the efforts of the utility to continue to provide the necessary service of clean\, safe drinking water. \nLearning Objectives: \n– Understand the main components of effective communication \n– Learn 3 principles of connecting with your community \n– Identify ideal options for developing a communication plan \nPresenter: Michelle DeHaven\, Senior Program Manager\, Environmental Finance Center at Wichita State University

SUMMARY:EPA Tools & Resources Webinar: Designing & Implementing Effective Participatory Science Projects
DESCRIPTION:Participatory science is the involvement of the public in science. It uses the collective strength and knowledge of the public to collect\, analyze\, and use data to answer environmental and public health questions. Projects answer wide-ranging questions\, can engage the public in any or all steps of the scientific process\, and operate using varying models ranging from community-led to institutionally driven. These efforts facilitate an increase in place-based connections\, environmental stewardship\, and human health and environmental protection. \nHave you wondered about the steps needed to build a successful participatory science project? Are you curious to learn how to engage and collaborate with your local community to do science? This webinar will walk through common steps and processes to design and implement a participatory science project as well as water\, air\, and soil case studies from across the country. The presenters will walk through their planning process steps\, discuss outcomes\, and highlight lessons learned. \nThis webinar will: \n1) Introduce the building blocks to developing a participatory science project. \n2) Share the Oklahoma Conservation Commission – Blue Thumb story. \n3) Present the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality – Community Air Action Planning program. \n4) Highlight collaboration approaches in Region 8 to test soil health using the soilSHOPs model.
