[Cathy Scott]

HI, Dave,
I also participated in the FLIP session and I had a similar experience as
Jenn described.  I was flipping between this and the GPO campaign training
sessions all day.
I thought the FVC session was good too.

>> Host:
>> Alejandra Bravo (Broadbent -you may remember Broadbent was one of the key
>> players in the 2016 "Alliance" and the Vote PR BC campaign)..
>>
>> Panelists:
>>  - Anna Keenan, Green Party Democratic Reform Critic

>> We will also be "boothing" at the summit. (Did you know "boothing" was a
>> word? We will be sitting at our virtual table in our virtual booth... :)
>>
>>
>> *WHY REGISTER:*
>> It should be an interesting session on the connection between these
>> issues.
>>
>>
>>
>> But aside from that,
>> * it's to communicate that lots of people are interested in this.*
>> That better environmental outcomes (from policy supported by a majority)
>> and electoral reform are connected is obvious to us, but it's a new idea
>> for a lot of people. Including people FVC can't usually reach.
>>
>>
>>
>> I know I'm out of the usual zone but we're making progress when somebody
>> says "I never even thought about it before, until recently."
>>
>> GreenPAC is a non-partisan org to promote environmental leadership in
>> politics.
>>
>> They endorse candidates from *every party* each election and feature
>> environmental leaders from all parties. (Sort of like Equal Voice or Samara
>> on but on a different issue).
>>
>> They also run a Parliamentary internship program that pairs interns with
>> MPs.
>>
>>
>>
>> They have Liberal Ministers who come on their webinars and people like
>> Chrystia Freeland write glowing testimonials of their programs.
>>
>> They have numerous foundations and corporations that fund them.
>>
>> In other words, people who usually wouldn't touch PR/FVC with a ten foot
>> pole.
>>
>>
>>
>> *So it's exciting that GreenPAc would invite us to partner for this
>> conversation! It will reach some new people. Let's make the best of it by
>> having a good audience size! *
