Space is limited—no more than 40 participants will be selected for each workshop.
Desired Candidates:
Participants will be selected from the applications to provide a high degree of diversity in each Workshop. Some of those we seek include:
County and City elected officials
State and Federal agencies
environmental group members
agricultural representatives
educators
business interests
legislative staff
water purveyors and managers
recreation industry representatives
media representatives
developers and contractors
planners and regulators
and others with an interest in local watershed management, and who may wish to improve their skills in community-based, locally-led environmental management.
Workshop registrants will be selected from among the applications to ensure diversity among the groups. Prior experience in watershed management is not a pre-requisite for consideration. The selected class will represent a broad range of backgrounds, management perspectives, geographic
locations, occupations, experience and expertise. The applicant’s desire and potential to contribute to natural resource management in their region will be an important consideration.
What the Workshops will include:
Presenters in the series will include major policy makers, agency managers and directors, nongovernment
entities, and nationally known experts in many topics. The topics are varied, and presented through lectures, interactive exercises and hands-on learning. The format of the workshops typically allows for interaction with the faculty, as well as continued interaction with other attendees during and outside of classroom activities.
A sampling of topics:
Conflict management and developing collaborative partnerships
Organizational development and support strategies
Watershed science and restoration techniques
Performance and status monitoring
Program management and implementation skills
Monitoring program design and implementation
Strategic planning and adaptive management
