Outreach and Education: Examples from a Federal Agency

Author(s): Jenna Peterson; Kendra Maroney

Summary

This is an abstract from the "Outreach and Education: Examples of Approaches and Strategies from the Pacific Northwest" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

As a federal agency, public outreach and education take many forms at the Bonneville Power Administration. Identifying and implementing effective mitigation requires meaningful and collaborative engagement with members of the public and consulting parties. Looking internally at our own workforce, many people are surprised that Bonneville employs archaeologists and historians, and we use this as an opportunity to share and celebrate our roles and the work that we do through internal presentations. Lastly, setting aside our day-to-day work, we participate in local events that further helps develop and strengthen our community partnerships. I look forward to sharing a few examples of how Bonneville Power approaches public outreach and education, and to learning how other organizations approach their work.
