"The CVGA partnered with Make A Change in 2019 on the Ramp Up Resilience program. I was very impressed and pleased with the approaches to community engagement that MACA adopt. It is clear that when it comes to engaging on difficult divisive topics like climate change, that they are leading the way!"
