WCCN All-Partners Meeting

We’re spotlighting the River Network this quarter: a national organization that works to grow and strengthen a transformational national network of water, justice, and river advocates.

Agenda:

• Presentation by the River Network
  • This presentation will introduce River Network’s national programs and priorities as well as the organization’s Colorado River Basin-focused priority outcomes and strategies. Presenters will share their work in supporting community-based organizations (CBOs) and stream management planning with an overview of River Network’s Colorado Stream Management Plan Peer Learning Network. The Yampa River Collaborative will be introduced as a model of the Colorado River Basin’s work and partnership with CBOs.
• Breakout Rooms
  • We will be having breakout rooms to explore the biggest needs for skill building and places for the field to seek positive change – we are looking for community feedback on both of these subjects!
• Networking
  • We will end with an opportunity for everyone to network and get to know our fellow WCCN Partners.
