  • Promotion of national and local legislative actions
  • Position papers
  • Tools and resources for communicating with policy makers
  • Webinar series
 

NISAW Local Events and Awareness

Make NISAW Your Own

Agencies, organizations, educators, businesses, and individuals: Nobody knows your community’s invasive species challenges and solutions like you do. We hope you make NISAW your own!
 
Below you’ll find templates for sharing invasive species outreach with the local media as well as ideas for creative ways to engage your local community on invasive species:
 


Instruction to NISAW participant: You can provide a copy of your public service announcement or press release to your local news outlets, including radio and television stations, newspapers, and local blogs. Many outlets support nonprofits by reading or running the announcement free of charge, or they might request a follow-up interview with you or another member of your organization.

You can help National Invasive Species Awareness Week reach new people in new ways 

NISAW sponsors are critical partners that ensure the capacity of NAISMA to coordinate outreach, advocacy activities, and raise the awareness of invasive species concerns to the public and elected officials.

NISAW webinars provide free continuing education on topics such as advocacy training, legislative priorities, new techniques, and what’s on the horizon for invasive species management, research, and policy across all taxa.

NISAW is coordinated by the North American Invasive Species Management Association in partnership with many federal agencies, state agencies, and local organizations. We estimate a reach of more than 10,000 individuals each year.

Why sponsor a NISAW webinar?

  • Align your brand with a topic that is strategically aligned with your organization
  • Reach 10,000+ individuals with your brand and message
  • Support NISAW’s efforts to raise awareness about invasive species
