MRBP’s Virtual Behavior Change Workshop

The MRBP Community Based Social Marketing (CBSM) or Behavior Change workshop is being held virtually on January 14-16, 2024. This co-learning workshop is intended for MRBP members and their co-workers in education/outreach/information/marketing to collaboratively develop a framework with strategies focused on achieving desired behavior change outcomes (e.g. clean, drain, dry) among various user communities across the basin that help to prevent further spread of AIS. The workshop is being funded by the MRBP so there is no cost for participants to attend. 

Registration is now open! Please CLICK HERE to register for the FREE workshop.
