Thursday, January 18 from 4-5pm. Online.
LWVMA has partnered with New England for Offshore Wind (NE4OSW) on a three-part webinar series featuring respected and knowledgeable speakers who will bring us up to speed on Offshore Wind. Join us for the third and final webinar in this series, “Conflicts and Solutions: Overcoming Offshore Wind Opposition.”
Supporting responsible offshore wind development means understanding the best pathway for achieving our climate goals. Continuous and rigorous engagement among stakeholders can raise awareness of the best environmental practices, community needs, and equitable economic opportunities that can come with responsibly developed offshore wind. However, misleading information and intentionally deceptive campaigns about offshore wind can stall or derail efforts to establish equitable and environmentally sound solutions consistent with our climate imperatives.
In the final installment of this three-part webinar series, you will learn about opposition messaging prevalent in the Northeast offshore wind sector and best practices for setting the record straight about this important clean energy resource. You will leave with access to a practical messaging guide and social media tool kit to help you identify and counter deceptive messaging practices.
Speakers:
- Katie Theoharides, the former Secretary of the Massachusetts Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs and current President and CEO of The Trustees of the Reservation.
- Alex Goldstein, CEO and founder of 90 West, and an expert in collaborative communication strategies.
- Jennifer Deloney, Offshore Wind Communications Director for the Environmental League of Massachusetts, supporting the New England for Offshore Wind (NE4OSW) coalition. Jennifer will provide tools and resources for countering deceptive opposition messaging.
