Mission Partners
With the help of our partnerships, we are growing community networks and knowledge to help address challenges and develop solutions needed to respond to coastal changes and adapt across social, cultural, economic and environmental landscapes.
LA SAFE Table Hosts
A hallmark of the LA SAFE planning process is empowering resident leaders. After presentations were made to everyone assembled, smaller group discussions were led by table hosts—residents who helped to guide conversations and capture the feedback of meeting participants. These residents are from within the six LA SAFE launch parishes or adjacent parishes and had contributed their time to learning the materials and activities so that they could answer questions and facilitate discussion. Here is a list of table hosts who helped guide the review of materials, exercises, discussions, strategy development and planning at the resident level at our LA SAFE public meetings, both at the community and parish-wide levels. Some include the organizations they represent.
