SanCap Citizens for a Resilient Future rebranded
The SanCap Citizens for a Resilient Future’s Steering Committee recently announced a name change for the islands coalition to SanCap Resilience.
“While the original name is reflective of the coalition’s purpose — to be a citizen-led effort to increase our community’s resilience to future storms and the effects of climate change — it was just too lengthy to say each time we referred to the group,” committee Co-chair Bob Moore said. “The new name is direct, to the point and was unanimously approved by Steering Committee members.”
SanCap Resilience is a coalition of citizens and 16 nonprofit organizations. Its mission is to “lead a community-based initiative to build resilience and protect the vibrancy of our sanctuary islands long into the future.” Community volunteers have been busy over the summer forming working groups to focus on specific aspects of resilience. Their goal is to provide resources to community members as they continue to work on the task of rebuilding after Hurricane Ian.
On Sept. 18, the communications working group launched a Facebook group and Instagram for the coalition. Those interested can search Facebook for “SanCap Resilience” to join. In addition, the group will introduce an e-newsletter; to subscribe, visit https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/sl/pidOWGv.
“We are excited to get our new communications channels in place,” group Chair Maureen McGauran said. “We want to both hear from the community and provide useful information and resources. In addition to our social media and email channels, we are working on a website that we will launch later this fall. It will include links to resources, a calendar of events by SanCap Resilience and our partner organizations, and opportunities for volunteering.”
