About Alison Schweitzer

I am a detail-oriented project manager that is passionate about helping people understand why stormwater pollution is a problem and how they can become part of the solution. I love connecting with people to understand their stories, barriers, and motivators. As a facilitator, I listen with intention to everyone\'s perspectives and ask intentional questions to guide conversations.
