Coalition Announcement: CDRW’s Priority Setting Process to Become Biennial
To continue momentum on objectives that member organizations set, the Coalition for the Delaware River Watershed (CDRW) will be moving to biennial priority setting and revamping the process in 2023.
Over the past ten years, the Coalition has learned how to create and activate a collective voice to address the watershed's largest challenges. That all starts with our member organizations, who set our priorities and the reason our voice is so strong.
By shifting how our priorities are determined, the Coalition can better focus on what matters most to you and the watershed. As part of this effort, the Coalition will work to position itself as a thought leader on select issues and differentiate where our network drives policy decisions and where it plays a supporting role in advancing issues forward.
