Communication, Education & Marketing Technical Division
The Communication, Education & Marketing Technical Division provides a voice to SWANA’s commitment to transforming solid waste management into progressive resource management. We strive to advance this shift by fostering a deep understanding of sustainable practices through clear communication, dynamic education, and amplified marketing strategies to the greater community.
Compelling communication motivates individuals and organizations, gives them information to make purchasing decisions and persuades them to alter their attitudes and behaviors to become better environmental stewards. Division members provide input, and request industry expertise from the general SWANA membership, which identify campaigns and strategies that will incorporate comprehensive outreach and education results for all audiences.
These strategies fall into three main categories:
- Share Best Practices – Give SWANA members access to industry leading perspectives, subject matter expertise, tested solutions, and the right way to manage a communication campaign.
- Create Educational Opportunities – Host educational workshops (presentations, webinars, SWANA Annual Meetings, etc.) on industry trending topics to equip membership with the tools to launch successful campaigns and respond to complex questioning from community stakeholders and promote diverse educational opportunities.
- Recognize Outstanding Outreach – Through annual awards, spotlights, and successful case studies shared with other SWANA members, we intend to work with SWANA and the conference committee to further amplify high achievers and promote SWANA to other audiences and professional organizations.
