Conservation Defense Network Meeting: Rally

Join us for our Dec. 2022 Communicators’ Network meeting, where Eric Eckl, owner of Water Words That Work, will present the results of a March 2022 national survey designed to test the public’s knowledge, uncover their opinions and identify ways to move them to action on behalf of rivers, lakes, streams, wetlands, estuaries and the ocean – and share how conservation organizations have moved the needle since the last water-focused survey in 2015.

Each year at Rally, the Communicators' Network gets together for lunch to re-connect and celebrate our success over the past year! Be sure to register for Rally 2023 and then register to join us on Friday for lunch.
