Our Strategies
We recognize the necessity to adapt our strategies as priorities and community dialogues evolve. Therefore, the following strategies comprise a “living document.”
In development and execution of our programmatic activities, we commit to the following specific strategies to implement these values:
- All meetings, symposiums, and webinars will follow the Sea Grant Association’s Event Code of Conduct and be welcoming and accessible.
- All work will be conducted in safe work environments free from explicit and implicit harassment/assault and bias.
- Facilitation techniques are designed and implemented to ensure balanced input.
- Funding opportunities are distributed to a wide variety of audiences within our network, and we actively seek a wide range of partners for research, extension, education, communication, and professional development projects to create pathways for success.
- Engage organizations that support communities to enhance their access to coastal science, outreach, grant funding, and sustainable economic development opportunities.
- Our program will intentionally advertise to recruit staff from all communities sources so that our team reflects the many communities that we serve in South
- We will continuously provide communications, trainings, and resources to all staff in order to ensure the retention of a well-trained workforce.
- We recognize our responsibility to strengthen the STEM pipeline to college and professional life for students of all backgrounds and abilities.
