WORKSHOP

Working with Local Government

Working with your local government can create powerful change in your community - it can also be daunting and frustrating. Join us for a two-part interactive workshop with climate resilience and fundraising expert, Susan Silber, to explore how to implement climate solutions and policies in collaboration with your local government. In session one, you will learn the best practices for developing successful government-community partnerships. In session two, you will work with practical scenarios and apply the knowledge to your local community. You’ll come away with a deeper understanding of the benefits and challenges of working with local governments and be ready to take action.

Workshop dates:

  • Thursday, September 21 4:00-5:00 p.m. PT
  • Thursday, September 28 4:00-5:00 p.m. PT
