EBC Leadership Program: Deanna Moran, Chief Coastal Resilience Officer, Commonwealth of Massachusetts

September 17 @ 4:00 pm - 6:00 pm
Virtual Event

This EBC Leadership Briefing features Deanna Moran, Chief Coastal Resilience Office for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Appointed in May of 2024, Ms. Moran leads the state’s new ResilientCoasts initiative, a holistic and proactive strategy to guide state and local coastal resiliency policy and action.

The goal of the ResilientCoasts initiative is to develop a comprehensive, state-wide strategy for coastal resilience in the Commonwealth. In collaboration with the state’s coastal communities and other stakeholders, ResilientCoasts will establish Coastal Resilience Districts based on climate impacts, review resilience options to proactively identify approaches that work statewide and within districts, explore financing mechanisms to find creative and sustainable ways to pay for projects, and review regulations to ensure effective long-term implementation.

Open Discussion: Following the presentation by Chief Coastal Resilience Officer Moran will be an open discussion with the Chief Coastal Resilience Officer and the audience on issues of concern to the EBC membership and their clients.
