Public Communication and Outreach Community

The Public Communication and Outreach Community (PCOC) develops and supports comprehensive education and outreach directed at WEF members and the public.

PCOC is charged to develop/support education and outreach for WEF members, the public, media, and public policymakers to encourage informed decision-making on economic, environmental, public health, operating, and social policy issues associated with the water environment.

We chatted with Rich McConaghy and Suzanne Hebert of the Water Resource Education Center in Vancouver, Wash., about their tips for building a public outreach/education program. Check out what they had to say!
