INVITATION to Fall ’22 Rogue Valley Water Solutions Summit
Southern Oregon Pachamama Alliance and our co-sponsoring organizations invite you to be a participant in the Fall 2022 Rogue Valley Water Solutions Summit, a 6-session community exploration of our relationship with water in the Rogue Valley, next meeting Wednesday, September 28.
Each session will include background materials to review ahead of time, guest panelists for Q&A, and breakout groups for public input on “What Could Be” — all aiming to create opportunities for the public to envision and share wholistic solutions that address issues and impacts related to water for Jackson and Josephine Counties.
