SUMMARY:How to Develop and Deliver an Engaging Virtual Conference Presentation
DESCRIPTION:Take this course if you… \n\nAre looking to translate good presentation practice into a virtual setting.\nGet a lot of virtual presentation requests.\n\nAbout the Course \nWhat are the best practices for developing a presentation for a virtual conference? How do you engage an audience that you can’t see? What are strategies for drilling down to a crystal-clear message? What if your presentation is pre-recorded? This training specifically addresses the successful design and delivery of a science-based virtual conference presentation. It covers best practices for slide design\, as well as effective approaches for honoring a diverse audience and keeping them involved and engaged. This training will teach you how to: \n\nDevelop and deliver a virtual presentation appropriate for a conference\nEngage your audience without having to be in the same room as them\nSuccessfully frame the message your presentation aims to achieve\n\nAbout the Speaker\nCathy Angell\, M.Ed.\, is the owner of Cathy Angell Communications and specializes in presentation design and delivery for scientists\, educators\, and public officials. Cathy’s trainings are offered both in-person and online. She was the former coordinator of Washington’s Coastal Training Program\, considered to be one of the most successful training programs in the country for coastal managers. Cathy is nationally known for her transformative methods and received a communications award from NOAA which is given out each year in her honor.

SUMMARY:Economic Guidance for Coastal Management Professionals
DESCRIPTION:Economic Guidance for Coastal Management Professionals\nKate Quigley and Lauren Knapp\, NOAA Office for Coastal Management \nThursday\, March 10\, 2022\n12:00-1:30pm CT/1:00-2:30pm ET\nCapacity: 75 \nRegister for Course \nTake this course if you… \n\nWant to learn some basics of economic valuation.\nPlay a role in writing and selecting proposals for coastal projects.\nWould like to advocate for the value of a project\, program\, or tool\, but unsure where to start.\n\nAbout the Course\nWhen coastal managers need to estimate project value and incorporate economic data\, they have several approaches to consider. This training provides information about a benefits-cost analysis\, economic impact analysis\, cost-effectiveness analysis\, and more. Understanding these basics will help participants identify the appropriate approach and the data needed. \nParticipants will learn how to: \n\nRecognize and understand basic economic terminology\nRecognize relevant economic approaches and analyses\nIdentify the approach to use based on project objectives\, level of expertise\, and funding\nLocate support tools and data\nConceptualize appropriate questions to ask an economist or an expert\n\nAbout the Speaker\nDr. Lauren Knapp holds a Ph.D. and postdoctoral training with 5 years of professional experience and 280+ citations on peer-reviewed publications. By training\, she is an environmental economist and employs various methods from cost-benefit analysis to ecosystem services valuation and stated preference estimation. On contract to National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) Office for Coastal Management (OCM)\, she helps on efforts to value marine economies\, train local communities on how to use economics to inform their decision-making\, capture benefit data for natural coastal infrastructure\, comprehensively value U.S. coral reefs\, and use economics to inform other related efforts.

SUMMARY:Let’s Talk About Trust
DESCRIPTION:A Collaborative Learning Opportunity to Reflect on Building Long-Term Relationships with Underserved Communities\n\n\n\n\n\nThis course is split over two days\, July 16 and 18\, with a three-hour session on each day. You must be able to attend both sessions. \n\n\n\nCapacity:\n\n\n\n26 \n\n\n\nObjectives:\n\n\n\n\nExplore trust and its three key elements.\n\n\n\nReflect on your experience with building trust.\n\n\n\nShare ideas for how to build and maintain trust in professional relationships.\n\n\n\nConsider case studies on building trust with underserved communities in the Great Lakes region.\n\n\n\nDiscuss special considerations for trust-building with underserved communities. \n\n\n\nIdentify strategies to build trust with underserved communities.\n\n\n\n\nDescription:\n\n\n\nWe increasingly hear the message that working with underserved communities requires trust. Do you find yourself wondering\, what does trust mean? What does trust look like? How do we build trust\, or better yet\, work through distrust with partners? Join us for reflection and peer-to-peer sharing to build our collective knowledge of what trust with underserved communities truly looks like. If you have expertise to share or are just starting to think about this kind of work\, we want you to be part of the conversation. We will explore existing resources on trust\, discuss key concepts among peers\, and identify successful strategies to overcome challenges.  \n\n\n\n“Let’s Talk About Trust” will be a combination of two virtual meetings\, partnered activities\, and individual reflection (total time commitment is 6.5 hours). We will explore existing resources on trust\, discuss key concepts among peers\, and identify successful strategies to overcome challenges. Because you will build our knowledge collectively as a group and you will work with a partner throughout the workshop\, you must be able to commit to attend both virtual meetings on July 16 and July 18 from 1:00 – 4:00 p.m. (ET). \n\n\n\nTo find out more about the “Let’s Talk About Trust” event or to register click here

SUMMARY:What’s in a Story? 
DESCRIPTION:Exploring Narrative to Capture and Explain Impact\n\n\n\n\n\nCapacity:\n\n\n\n50 \n\n\n\nObjectives:\n\n\n\n\nLearn about narrative development as an approach to capture and explain impact\n\n\n\nHear example impact narratives from the Great Lakes region\n\n\n\nExplore developing your own impact narrative \n\n\n\nReflect on the potential uses of narratives for understanding and communicating about impact\n\n\n\n\nDescription\n\n\n\nWhat would you say if someone asked you\, “What’s the impact of your work?” Would you have a quick and satisfying answer? Or would you struggle with where to begin or how to frame the impact of your work\, especially when you know there were other contributing factors? Now think about what you would say if someone asked you\, “Can you think of a moment when you realized the impacts of your work? Describe it. What made that moment possible and what came after?” Both sets of questions have a similar focus\, but the latter invites a different approach to reflecting and sharing about impact. It supports sharing with both context and explanation which provides a much richer understanding. It also reduces pressure to name only what you feel you alone can claim\, an instinct many of us have when\, in fact\, change and impact come about in complex ways. \n\n\n\nThe NERRS Science Collaborative has been exploring narrative and story development to support the NERRS and their partners in capturing and explaining the expansive impacts of their work. In this session\, we will share about this exploration and what we have been learning. This will include sharing example impact narratives from the Great Lakes region and how we worked with reserve staff to develop them. Participants will have the opportunity to work in small groups to begin developing their own narratives and then we will discuss their potential uses for communicating about impact. \n\n\n\nTo find out more about the “What’s in a Story?” event or to register click here

SUMMARY:The River Talks - Ganawenindiwag: Working with Plant Relatives to Heal Gichigami Shorelines
DESCRIPTION:Get to know the river in your backyard! Join us for The River Talks – a free learning series hosted at the Lake Superior Estuarium. \n\n\n\nThis River Talk features Karina Heim from The Lake Superior Reserve and Rob Croll from the Great Lakes Indian Fish & Wildlife Commission. \n\n\n\nLake Superior’s shorelines face growing pressures from erosion\, development\, and new climate patterns. Come learn about Ganawenindiwag (‘they take care of each other’)\, a resource that reframes plants as relatives and teachers\, offering cultural and ecological guidance for healing and protecting these coasts. \n\n\n\nParticipants may request an interpreter\, materials in an alternative language or format\, or other services to make this event more accessible\, by contacting the Reserve at least 20 days before the event. There’s no added cost to you for these services.  The University of Wisconsin–Madison Division of Extension provides equal opportunities in employment and programming in compliance with state and federal law.
