We're a team of collaborators from the University of Georgia, the University of Memphis, Oak Ridge Associated Universities, Southern University of New Orleans, and Vanderbilt University. Professionally, we represent social and policy sciences, chemistry, economics, biology, water infrastructure engineering, arts, education and job training, outreach, and environmental sciences. We live, work, recreate, and raise families in Southeastern communities. In this, we all have a shared future and a vested interest in a sustainable and equitable future for the region. Combined, our team offers decades of experience in research, community engagement, governance, water policy, water planning, project design, and project implementation at the local, state, and federal levels.
