Outreach/Water For Peoplethat remains is how to make sure theselected messages reach them.Among the many ideas identified fordelivering these messages, the joint committeedecided to focus on two: creatinga joint public education website and producingtwo public service announcements(PSAs) as content. The three associationssigned a Memorandum of Understandingto work together on these initiatives andshare the costs equally. “We then realizedthat as committee members, we had neitherthe time nor the skill to move forwardourselves with what we had decided,”recalls Carreiro.A Task Force was formed consisting oftwo members from each association. Theteam then hired one company to gatherfootage and produce two PSAs, andanother company to create the website(www.mywatermatters.org). The videosare currently posted on the website along“The group needs to continue to develop neweducational materials, keep the messagescurrent, and find new ways to deliver them.”with a list of upcoming industry-relatedevents and links to all three associationwebsites as well as to links to informationabout careers and other resources.One of the videos is also postedon YouTube (at www.youtube.com/watch?v=sl4DWTaCrgs)The Joint Public Education Committeeplans to continue pursue different waysto deliver the PSAs, including havingthem shown at sporting events, duringcareer fairs and in movie theatres beforefeatures. These goals are detailed in thePublic Education and Marketing Plan.“I think that in times to come, we willmeet all those objectives,” says Wilson,adding that limited resources makeprioritizing essential.One priority identified by the committeeis to continue adding materials to thewebsite to keep it ‘fresh’ and engaging.“That is definitely another part of thechallenge,” says Simon, noting that creatingthe website was only the first step.“The group needs to continue to developnew educational materials, keep themessages current, and find new ways todeliver them.” The Joint Public EducationCampaign retained the rights to all thefootage so that any unused portions canbe turned into additional PSAs.“We are just skimming the surface,”notes Wilson. “There is a tremendousamount that can be done. The veryfact that the associations are workingtogether is huge. The true benefit is thecreation of an ongoing joint effort totackle industry needs.”UTILITY LAND SERVICE, LLCRight-of-Way & Real Property AcquistionReal Estate Consultation ServicesJOHN T.
