Meet the Presenters:
Caitlin Grady, Purdue University
How to Make a Good Brochure:
Along with Elizabeth Tompkins and Maria Schaefer, we investigated the "Water Words the Work" marketing strategies for developing material for the general public. We asked members of the public to review existing brochures and answer survey questions to determine their effectiveness.

Lost River Eco-Tour:
Along with Howard Mills, we created an Eco-Tour of the Lost River watershed that highlights ecological benefits of different areas within the system. We also included a basic steps guide for other groups wanting to develop similar Eco-tours within their own watershed.

Tips & Tricks for Engaging Public Meeting Participants:
Along with Steve Carter, we interviewed public meeting facilitators and attendees as well as doing some research in order to compile a quick list for improving success in engaging public meeting participants in positive discussions. We also identified things that can be implemented to help make people feel comfortable to speak up. |
