Presentation title: (How) should we do this? Assessing whether to implement air monitoring and exploring resources and tools to accomplish community-partnered projects.

The speakers in this webinar know how to effectively plan and conduct air monitoring projects in a community, and they can help you do the same. The two most important questions to answer at the outset of a community-partnered project are:

  1. Should we do this?
  2. What are our goals?

The speakers described tools and frameworks to get clear about project goals, establish effective partnerships, and then achieve project goals.
