Event Details
Invitation
Dear Coastal Community Leader,
In 2006 the States of Oregon, Washington and California established the West Coast Governors Alliance on Ocean Health (WCGA) to work together on ocean issues that could best be advanced through regional collaboration. The WCGA’s first Action Plan, adopted in 2008, identified 10 Action Areas and established working groups made up of staff from all levels of government and nongovernmental organizations across the three states to coordinate actions. In 2012, the WCGA sharpened its focus to emphasize a shorter list of four priorities, while preparing to undertake a full Action Plan review and updating. As we launch the full review process now, we wish to take the opportunity to reestablish a connection and lines of communication with local governments, and benefit from perspectives won on the front lines of an array of ocean and coastal issues. We request your assistance in identifying shared priorities for ocean and coastal health, and strategies to ensure lasting communication between local entities and the WCGA.
To this end, I am writing on behalf of the WCGA Executive Committee to cordially invite you to attend a local government workshop on October 22, in Florence, Oregon. This meeting has been planned in coordination with the DLCD Fall Coastal Planners Meeting to lessen the travel burden for those attending both meetings. Please find attached a draft agenda for the WCGA meeting. This meeting will provide opportunity for local entities to offer input into the WCGA Action Plan, develop strategies for coordination, and enhance communication between the WCGA and local government representatives. Your participation will help ensure effective implementation of the WCGA Action Plan in years to come.
The deadline to register is October 14th. We hope you can join us.
Warm regards,
Gabriela Goldfarb, Natural Resources Policy Advisor
Office of the Governor
