Dark Sky Cooperative’s Quarterly CONNECTIONS
Conference/Seminar
TODAY’s TOPIC: Professional Support for Dark Sky Communities Part 1: Finding common ground, examples from Colorado and Oregon The focus of this session will be on the process of gaining community support, including that of local decision-makers and elected officials, to find common ground regarding the protection and maintenance of dark night skies. Connecting a purpose with the community’s vision, collecting data and using language that is appropriate and meaningful, developing lighting codes that can be followed, and designing activities that improve the public’s awareness of the types of outdoor lighting in their environment are all important steps. Invited speakers include: Hilary Lewkowitz, Director, Destination Development & Sustainability, Colorado Tourism Office, and Program Coordinator, Colorado Dark Sky Certification Mentor Program Katie Payer, Destination Development Contractor, Colorado Tourism Office Dr. Bill Kowalik, Board Chair and founding board member, DarkSky Oregon Michael McKeag, Chapter Director, DarkSky Oregon
