2020 Environmental Communications (EComm) Awards
Communicating with a diverse set of stakeholders, including the public at large, is a complex and challenging task. Marketing plans - and their subset communication plans - must be designed to address the objectives and strategies that determine how well a campaign will be able to reach a target audience. With this in mind, AAEES is proud to offer this area of competition and invites consulting firms and municipal agencies alike to enter.
Completed entries for the EComm Awards Competition must be uploaded by March 1, 2020. You may submit the reservation form at any time, but it is advised that you do so early to ensure that you have sufficient time to review the instructions and test your secured drop box before the March 1st deadline.
Go to https://www.aaees.org/ecommcompetition/ for additional information, including entry guidelines and profiles of previous award-winning projects.
2020 Environmental Engineering and Science Resource Guidebook - Sign Up for Your Listing
The Academy invites you to have your organization sign up for a listing in the 2020 Environmental Engineering and Science Resource Guidebook. We are releasing the Guidebook in both digital and web formats to make the publication easier to use and easier to distribute to individuals and organizations looking to connect with environmental specialists. We are expanding the content that each listing receives – enabling web links in the e-version and providing more room to post information on your specialties in both versions. We expect to distribute the Environmental Engineering and Science Resource Guidebook more widely than ever. We are also planning an expanded role for the Guidebook in making federal, state, and local agencies aware of the capabilities of our members in helping deal with current environmental engineering needs.
Have your organization reserve its space by March 15, 2020. It's great exposure for a low cost. For details, email JSOlmo@aaees.org. To download the reservation form, click here.
