SUMMARY:Embracing Equity: Developing Successful Working Partnerships
DESCRIPTION:In celebration of International Women’s Day 2023\, ADA and Lower Medway IDB are pleased to announce an upcoming free online workshop for members of both ADA and Women in FCERM (WiFCERM) around the theme of Embracing Equity: Developing Successful Working Partnerships as an offering to support WiFCERM goals. \nLower Medway IDB have collaborated with Nicola Williams\, a relationships coach and trainer\, to bring ADA and WiFCERM members this workshop\, supported on a cost neutral basis by ADA and Lower Medway IDB. \nAnnouncing the workshop\, Priscilla Haselhurst\, Clerk & Engineer to Lower Medway IDB said: \nAs a WiFCERM committee member\, I wanted us to make an offering that was tangible and useful across the FCERM sphere\, which coincided with International Women’s Day. \n“Successful working partnerships are key for positive societal and environmental outcomes\, and essential in our response to the climate and ecological emergency. Responsibility for managing flood and coastal risk lies within different organisations and effective action can only happen by working together. Consequently\, differing priorities and ways of working requires good relationships to ensure successful outcomes. \nHow can we develop quality working relationships that ensure effective impact? \nDuring this 2.5 hour workshop\, with a further optional 30 minutes for Q&A session. \nWe will learn: \n\nWhat equity is\, why it is good\, and how we can uphold it as an organisational and /personal value.\nHow a positive relationship with ourselves supports positive working relationships with others and ways to cultivate this.\nHow to connect well with others and stay connected as we communicate and negotiate\, to create resilient partnerships based on mutual trust and respect.\nHow we can make a personal commitment to what has been learned.\n\nThe workshop will be held on Zoom on Thursday 27 April 10.00-12:30 and will have limited spaces to ensure that we can gain the most value from the workshop. \nTo register a firm commitment to join the workshop\, please email: enquiries@lmidb.co.uk

SUMMARY:Environment Day 2023
DESCRIPTION:Thank you to everyone from across the lowland water management community who attended our first ever ADA Environment Day on Thursday 2 February at Park Farm in Thorney\, near Peterborough.  \nIt was a pleasure to welcome board members and officers from drainage districts across both England and Wales to hear from so many knowledgeable experts on what was aptly World Wetlands Day. The day exceeded our expectations in terms of attendance\, with positive engagement around all of the topics discussed. It truly made the day so useful\, informative\, and a pleasure to host. \nWe hope this event has helped spread learning about best practice approaches and given drainage boards greater confidence to enhance their local aquatic environment whilst managing and maintaining safe water levels and flood risk infrastructure. As the event chairperson\, Michael Sly commented\, “our drains are our inverted hedgerows”\, acting as natural highways to provide ecological connectivity across the Fens\, in the same way that our hedgerows do in other farmed landscapes. \nOur thanks go to all of our fantastically informative speakers for their contributions\, to Martin van Nieuwenhuijzen from Aquatic Control Engineering (ACE) for their generous sponsorship and support\, and to our delegates for participating on the day. Last\, but by no means least\, thank you to Michael Sly for chairing the day wonderfully and to the team at Park Farm for making us so welcome at their fantastic meeting venue in the heart of the Fens. We really enjoyed putting the day together and are grateful for the positive feedback we have received during and following the event. \nAll of the presentation slides from the day can now be downloaded at the link below. We are already thinking about next year’s Environment Day when we will return to Park Farm. If you have a topic suggestion\, or would be interested in presenting at next year’s event\, please do get in touch. \nEnvironment Day 2023 | Agenda | Environment Day 2023 | Presentations | Image Gallery
