The Water Action Guide

Managing a Water Crisis - Step Six

Name a Coalition Spokesperson

Your spokesperson (or persons) will represent the overall goals of your green community to elected officials during water board hearings, to the public during open meetings and to the media.

Remember: One coalition, one voice, one goal.

The ideal candidate(s) should be…

dynamic
well-spoken
diplomatic
knowledgeable.

Tip: If your spokesperson is from a different
sector of the green community than you are, it is imperative that you offer detailed, concise,
background information about your industry to
ensure that your interests are aligned with the
larger group message.

Working together will only make your
voice stronger and more effective.
