and Coggs. Caesar and Kanthi will get feedback from Evans before the event. We can
use this information to train folks tabling events as well.
- Paid Media:
Mabon and McAlister are putting together a paid media proposal to specifically
reach Black and Brown communities. They are meeting on Friday to finalize. Erick
Shambarger confirmed we can move forward with a radio ad on V100.7. Evans will
create script, which we will finalize asap so V100 can record it (2-3 days) and we can
start promoting the Green Jobs event.
Wiggins noted that the 1⁄2 page general flyers were distributed by ECO at a recent
event.
3. Summer Events Planning

- Evans: Transportation
- Frank: Land Use
- Kanthi: Resilience Ambassadors
- McAlister: Commercial Buildings
- Omokunde: Green Jobs
- Wiggins: Waste
Tabling Update – Piszczek
Progress update and discussion – Event Leads
- Evans: Residential Efficiency
2 possible events: partner with Sherman Park to promote energy efficiency or
conduct a landlord roundtable on Zoom. We need to offer events on the southside.
- Evans: Transportation
Three people have volunteered to work on transportation events. Transportation
has 4 proposals in two categories: electric vehicles and reducing vehicle miles
traveled (active modes, transit, and limiting parking). The September bike ride is
scheduled, Kraig would like one for public transportation.
- Frank: Land Use
No meeting last week, meeting tomorrow. Venice Williams at Alice’s Garden agreed
to be a speaker.
- Kanthi: Resilience Ambassadors
Evans shared info on behalf of Kanthi. Pam Ritger reached out to Walnut Way which
is doing a resilience event.
- McAlister: Commercial Buildings
Met with some members of the Work Group a couple weeks ago, who decided it
would be best to have an event to socialize the idea first since we are anticipating
pushback. The Building Work Group met last week with a presentation from IMT
that suggested how to move forward. IMT may be asked to host a roundtable
because of their experience in promoting energy standards.
- Omokunde: Green Jobs
Working to confirm panelists (confirmed Preston Cole, Chris Martinez). Event is
Tuesday August 24th at Wisconsin Black Historical Society, looking into safety and
health protocols. Piszczek raised concerns about accessibility of the event and asked
about replicating this event on the southside. McAlister asked if panelists would
have images of their work so the flyer could include people of color. Omokunde will
bring this up at the working group meeting later today.
- Wiggins: Waste

Samantha Longshore is tabling on August 31st at Fondy Farmers Market and will give
a demonstration about food waste. We plan to have a giveaway to attract people’s
attention. Not concerned about promoting the event since the market draws their
own crowd.
• Tabling Update – Piszczek
Piszczek has the printed 1/2 page flyers, tables, and masks in his possession. He will
send out the sign-up sheet this week. He is waiting to hear from Chill on the Hill and
Washington Park. Mabon and Piszczek will distribute flyers this week to local
businesses and organizations, and table at Cactus Club as well. Evans would like any
new flyers to replace the QR code with one that will send people directly to surveys.
Working with Dreher to get this sorted out.
