October 16, 2025 | Session 7 | Community-Driven Workforce Solutions for Green Infrastructure

Description: Green Infrastructure requires ongoing maintenance and skilled knowledge for its effective operation. To increase the implementation success of Green Infrastructure, a well-trained workforce with ties to the community is essential. This webinar will explore community-driven green infrastructure programs in New Orleans that support the professional growth of the communities they are based in. We plan to highlight case studies of green infrastructure workforce programs that owe their success to effective collaboration with the communities they serve.

Learning Objectives:

  • Recognize the benefits of community-driven approaches to workforce development for Green Infrastructure.
  • Understand the expectations of community members and city regulators around GI installations and maintenance.
  • Learn about programs that have developed and grown a Green Water Workforce from the ground up.

Guest Speakers: Dr. Angela Chalk, Executive Director, Healthy Community Services (New Orleans) and Jeff Supak, Executive Director, Water Wise Gulf South
