Last month, ISRI announced its partnership with the National Association of Counties (NACo) and the impact it could have. As a component of this partnership, ISRI has access to numerous avenues for spreading our message, including the NACo magazine, website, and web conference/blogs that are distributed to all 3,000+ counties nationwide.
ISRI needs to take advantage of this opportunity, but to do so we need you to report on your local success stories.
In 2015, NACO is dedicating a section of its County News publication to showcase public and private partnerships. This section will be called “Solutions Spotlight” - Effective Public & Private Sector Partnerships. It will highlight a county’s challenge/opportunity, solution implemented, and results/takeaways. The County News publication online and print versions reaches over 40,000 county officials and staff nationwide.
ISRI members take pride in their communities and often participate in local events designed to help their neighbors. While ReMA members often face the blame game as local communities attempt to address social problems such as theft or nuisance and are forced to alter operations, there are many who continue to pave the path to community solutions that bring about positive outcomes for everyone. It is these stories ReMA wants the world to hear. ReMA members are part of the solution!
It is time for the recycling industry to showcase its contributions to the environment and economy to local county governments and our communities. The ISRI-NACo partnership has created the perfect opportunity and communications vehicle to make to share the industry’s proud story and heritage.
Your submission needs to no more than 400 words, and ReMA staff can assist with finalizing the write-up for submission if you request. NACo prefers more recent stories, but please still send us your story even if it is a few years old.
