Task 8. Identify more climate champion through surveys and snowballing. Using the preliminary network map in Task 7 and climate vulnerabilities identified in Task 2, we will a) contact existing collaborators, contacts, and known actors in the region to identify people that fit the profile of a climate champion, and b) send survey instrument to City and County Clerks and Recorders. As demonstrated by Kalafatis and Lemos (2017), this strategy enables the pinpointing of proactive individuals working to make change in particular policy or issue areas within a community, which may not be who one would identify by looking at an organizational chart for a municipality or utility. We will ask the Clerk to identify one or more individuals in the community (working within our outside of municipal or regional water providing entities) that are the most active in considering or leading responses to risks to the water sector.

The demographic analysis that Arthur can help us with (i.e. populating a list of communities in the region with certain population parameters will be the first start. Then we'll need to add in contact information for all of those communities. Meanwhile we can start to envision what the survey should look like. We may also want to think about some side research questions we could pursue given this opportunity for data collection.
