The Public Communications and Outreach Committee (PCOC) facilitates communications between our members and the public on water environment issues. PCOC is a resource for FWEA members looking to enhance their public education efforts by developing and implementing outreach tools and educational programming.
The mission of the PCOC is to educate the public about the water profession. Current programs include:
The PCOC meets virtually on the third Friday of each month from 12–1 PM and once a year in person at the Florida Water Resources Conference.
All FWEA members are welcome to join the PCOC meetings by contacting the PCOC Secretary.
