Campaigning For Projects: How to Win With Communities & Local Officials
Monday, May 12 | 1:00 pm – 5:00 pm
Presented by: Tigercomm; Americans for Energy Independence
This training program will provide clean energy development professionals with valuable tools to ensure their community engagement practices are aligned with the needs and challenges of today’s politically charged atmosphere where renewable energy projects can be stalled or cancelled due to community opposition.
To build local support for clean energy projects and reach key stakeholders where they are, the industry must adopt more nimble and adaptable outreach techniques that mirror the tactics of sophisticated political campaigns.
In this half-day training, attendees will receive guidelines and insights to help improve and evolve the community engagement practices at their company, including techniques for handling tough questions, strategies to engage the right stakeholders, and how to communicate local benefits. Participants will also receive takeaway resource guides.
