Houston Orientation Meeting Summary

About

The GRP convened local nonprofits to share the results of a landscape scan on climate and health related work in Harris County Precincts 1 and 2. After a discussion about the landscape scan findings, local academics, government officials, and foundations were welcomed into the room. Once all attendees were present, presenters shared additional details about the ACT Initiative and the methodology that will be employed to guide the Initiative. Then, participants engaged in a stakeholder mapping activity, listing other local stakeholders that might be interested in participating and visually arranging the stakeholders according to their levels of interest and influence. See the attached meeting summary for more information.
