For the first time in Montana, WMCC is bringing a virtual, Community-Based Social Marketing (CBSM) Workshop with Dr. Doug McKenzie-Mohr, the founder of CBSM. Learn how to enhance your outreach campaigns to establish social norms and positive habits. The workshop is full, but WMCC staff may be contacted to join the waitlist.

Applications for the Stormwater and Septic Leachate Grant Programs open at the beginning of 2025. Join WMCC for a preview of our draft application. We will look over the draft application and discuss the application process and important items. We will be looking for partner feedback and questions on application process and materials to incorporate into our final application.
