This webinar will provide a review of the hydropower process as it is described online or ‘official’ sources.. We will then review the process from the perspective of practitioners whose approaches and tactics proven to be effective reflect their decades of experience. They will cover how practitioners can
- Become involved in the process
- How to create all possible opportunities to be effective
- Apply (leverage) your collective skills, experience and interests to make your project positioning and recommendations unique and clear
Presenters will discuss
- Primary practitioners’ roles and responsibilities to inform or advise attendees who and where to seek more information.
- Groups that are important to include who might vary among projects, such as residents among project-adjacent communities and destination recreationists.
Settlement Agreements – We will apply the wisdom and ‘battle scars’ of decades of experience in both highlighting a few examples that are viewed to be successful and challenge their value as collaborative solutions.
