To become an America's WETLAND "Community Partner," a community
should establish a volunteer committee through passage of a resolution that accepts
the America's WETLAND "Community Partner" invitation. Then, please
complete America's WETLAND "Community Partner" Acceptance Form
or call 1-866-4WETLAND and we will be happy to send you a form.
America's WETLAND "Community Partner" committees create action agendas
and community plans to complement the state's future coastal vision. Your community
plan will serve as a model for public and civic involvement. Your committee
will want to take part in all or some of the following activities being planned
for the campaign:
- Attending America's WETLAND "Community Partner" meetings and special
events
- Nominating list of local organizations to become America's WETLAND
"Cooperating Organizations"
- Extending the campaign mark and encouraging participation among local attractions,
events, parades, festivals and more
- Adopting a community participation identity plan to display logos and campaign
logo
- Applying logo to community materials, as well as community facilities and
hardware
- Designating America's WETLAND community resource venues/centers
- Seeking local sponsors to offer community residents/businesses America's
WETLAND participation packages
- Disseminating school youth programs made available by the campaign
- Coordinating with neighboring parishes to speak as a region regarding matters
affecting land loss
- Fostering dissemination of information on the plight of our coast and the
need to fund/proceed with specific projects
Accepting the America's WETLAND "Community Partner" designation will
allow your community to be officially recognized by the state and serve as
a point of contact in each community for events and activities of the three-year
first phase of the campaign. A toolkit and guide for preparing materials for
the campaign will be made available following acceptance to the America's
WETLAND "Community Partner" Acceptance Form. This guide will help your
local campaign promote activities in your community through media relations,
special events, and Internet strategies. Your community will be recognized
along with other America's WETLAND "Community Partners" in print materials
developed for the campaign. Delegates from your community will also be invited
to a host of commemorative events and policy orientation sessions staged to
support efforts to protect coastal Louisiana.
