If you serve as a leader of a CWO, please take a few minutes to complete the 2022 Impacts and Successes Survey– this is a wonderful and important opportunity for all watershed groups to tally up all your accomplishments from 2022 and share them.

Tracking, measuring, and sharing metrics that matter is a critical part of sound organizational management. Not only that, but POWR will help amplify the these successes to a broad audience- people in positions to support your efforts.
