Shared Impact

We provide ongoing support to The Green Infrastructure Leadership Exchange, a member-led network of emerging municipal leaders. The members of the Exchange work together to develop resources and share innovative ideas for expanding climate-resilient stormwater management in ways that meet community needs.

Led by the belief that water is the catalyst for community transformation, Rogue Water Lab powers a network of water communicators, educators, and enthusiasts to gather and share ideas, collaborate on storytelling needs for the water industry, and discuss how to get our communities involved.  Together, this network of leaders provides a hub of resources and opportunities for engagement through a variety of mediums and platforms.  Rogue Water Lab culminates this experience at Catalyst, a summit developed to harness the collective power of water sector communicators and educators around industry-leading interactive events, and to deliver real-world impact that elevates the visibility and value of strategic communications.

The Water Collaborative of Greater New Orleans is a regional nonprofit that seeks to build a diverse network for all impacted by flood risk by focusing on equitable practices to sustainably live and thrive with water. They envision an inclusive network of communities working to ensure our world is climate resilient, with New Orleans as a leader in rights-based water management. The Water Collaborative focuses its programming on water justice (affordability, quality, and water as a public good) and green infrastructure. They seek to create socially, economically, and physically liberated communities through educational programs, policy advocacy, and equitable workforce development. By addressing climate trauma, increasing opportunities for community self-determination, and collaboratively working with different sectors, they strive to create sustainably thriving communities in the Gulf South. We support The Water Collaborative, in partnership with the City of New Orleans, Office of Resilience and Sustainability, and ISeeChange, to develop a new engagement framework that will build community-driven planning and designs for future and current infrastructure projects.

We supported the launch of The Water Innovation Leadership Development (WILD) program at Duke University’s Nicholas School of the Environment, which helps empower the next generation of utility leaders to embrace transformative practices and implement innovative, equitable solutions to water infrastructure challenges.

WaterNow Alliance is a network of local water leaders advancing sustainable, affordable, equitable, and climate resilient water strategies in their community.

They help communities make tangible progress on the ground to bring sustainable water management approaches to scale. They support and elevate emerging public sector water leaders through recognition, network building and technical assistance.
