Please join the Stormwater Strategic Initiative Lead Team on June 9th, at 1-2pm, for a conversation with Rose Jordan from Greenprint Partners. Green Infrastructure Leadership Exchange and Greenprint, recently released the Equity Guide for Green Stormwater Infrastructure Practitioners, a comprehensive resource for public sector stormwater management organizations to advance and measure equity in their GSI policies, programs, and projects. It offers public sector GSI program managers equity best practices, evaluation frameworks, bright spots and a variety of tools to implement recommendations.

Rose will guide an overview and discussion about the practical and social outcomes associated with centering equity in this compelling and positive aspect of stormwater and community life.
The Stormwater SIL is looking forward to actively engaging with its partners and grantees on improving the planning, siting, community involvement, and emphasis areas to ensure that underrepresented or overburdened communities enjoy the benefits of Green Stormwater Infrastructure. Several years ago, the University of Washington hosted a gentrification workshop that addressed the issues inherent in current land valuation which perversely punishes taxpayers by improving human and environmental conditions on-site through biophilic design elements, including GSI.
To request an invitation please contact Heidi Siegelbaum from the Stormwater Strategic Initiative lead Team at Heidi.Siegelbaum@wsu.edu.
