The Public Affairs Council (PAC) shall serve as consultants to the Board of Governors (BOG) to assist the Florida
Section of the American Water Works Association (FSAWWA) to enhance awareness regarding the water industry
and the expertise that FSAWWA provides in the stewardship of Florida's water resources by:
 
  • Developing and implementing a marketing/communications plan in coordination with
    collaborative partnerships with all stakeholders.
  • Developing and maintaining effective relationships with the public, media outlets, and
    government officials/liaisons.
  • Developing and implementing educational outreach programs.
 
The Council is responsible for the establishment, coordination and direction of committees relating to public information
and public relations functions, or as assigned by the BOG. Some of the goals and objectives of the PAC for 2008 are outlined below.
 

2008 General Goals & Objectives


Define organizational structure to align with FSAWWA Strategic Goal #1 and fill positions

Review strategic goals and objectives and develop 5 year marketing plan

Work with new hosting service, Affiniscape, to transition website

Help to promote Legislative Day in Tallahassee

 
2008 is going to be another growing year for the PAC. We have redefined our mission and our objectives to align
with the FSAWWA Strategic Goal - Make the value of FSAWWA visible. The PAC is undertaking a massive initiative similar to the one the Technical & Education Council pursued three years ago. By redefining what we are and aligning ourselves with the strategic goals of the Section, the PAC will remain solidly functional and capable of handling the Section's current and future public affairs needs.
 
Part of the reorganization has produced the following committees:
 
 
  • Marketing
  • Public Education & Outreach
  • Youth Education & Outreach
  • Website
  • Media Relations
  • Government Affairs & Outreach
  • Utility Education & Outreach
 
 
There are still many vacancies to be filled so please contact the PAC Chair for more information on how you can make
a difference by getting involved!
