Coalition Building Webinar with Ocean Strategies Founder Brett Veerhusen

Wednesday July 29th, 2020

The most impactful research is driven by a strong, diverse coalition of individuals, businesses and organizations united by a common mission. Join the Migration in Harmony NSF-Research Coordination Network and our Steering Committee member Brett Veerhusen in this virtual workshop to learn how to build long-lasting partnerships around shared goals. Sharing how he has built coalitions in fisheries research, management, and policy action in Alaska, and together we’ll explore how to move from idea to action plan by building a coalition that get you to your goal.

Ocean Strategies founder Brett Veerhusen has helped pioneer some of the most influential seafood and maritime initiatives this past decade. A lifelong commercial fisherman, Brett has fished extensively in the Aleutian Islands, Bering Sea and Gulf of Alaska. He founded Ocean Strategies in 2013, providing expertise in maritime and natural resource industries to both the nonprofit and private sectors. Brett has helped build diverse coalitions, from Fortune 100 companies to grassroots fishermen’s organizations. Previously, as the Executive Director of the Seafood Harvesters of America in Washington, D.C., Brett built the go-to fishermen’s organization in our nation’s capital.
