Be a Watchdog!
Who We Are: We are volunteers from the community acting as the eyes and ears of ES-CA to keep members informed about local, county and state activity that might impact us.
What We Do: We periodically attend local, county and state meetings, review agenda’s, read newspapers, review websites, network, meet government officials.
By identifying ourselves and becoming recognized, ES-CA Watchdogs put officials “on notice” that we are represented and organized, and our input to their actions deserves their serious attention.
We encourage our Watchdogs to attend local, county or state meetings as often as possible.
Reporting: Following attendance or seeing/hearing governmental action/inaction of potential impact to our communities, Watchdogs are asked to submit an e-mail report of pertinent information gathered from their activities to a member of the ES-CA Board.
Watchdogs also recommend follow-up, strategies, and provide guidance including names and contact information of other attendees from the area served by ES-CA such that we can encourage their participation in discussions at ES-CA meetings and future communications.
