We needed much more, including support from digital marketing and communications experts, network-building experts, software and video producers, web designers, project and financial managers, participation from stakeholders and rights-holders, including Indigenous people, the ALN Advisory, and the Royal Roads University leadership team. <\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #333333\">We greatly appreciate the active involvement of our funders:<\/span>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li><span style=\"color: #333333\">Natural Resources Canada (BRACE);\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li><span style=\"color: #333333\">BC Ministry of Environment and Climate Change Strategy, Climate Action Secretariat; <\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li><span style=\"color: #333333\">BC Ministry of Advanced Education and Skills Training. <\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<span style=\"color: #333333\">These organizations were vital in mobilizing this work and supporting the evolution of the project.

This list includes more than fifty people and organizations who performed work for ALN through services contracts, plus many others who provided extensive 'in-kind' contributions and expertise. As with any list, there are others whom we may have missed and who supported the project at arm's length. We extend our thanks to them as well.\r\n\r\nA special thanks to my colleague, Vivian Forssman, ALN Program Manager, who has efficiently and effectively managed details on all elements of this project over the past three years. I and the project owe Vivian a huge debt of gratitude for her efforts, which have ensured that the project has stayed on track with people, process and purpose aligned and that the ALN has engaged and sustained a robust and diverse network.\r\n\r\nAnother special thanks to my colleague Deborah Zornes, Director of Research Services at Royal Roads University, whose financial and administrative support has been second-to-none. It has been Deb, behind the scenes, making sure all fifty of those service contracts got papered up, and she has been a thorough partner in the details and timeliness of financial reporting to our funders.\r\n\r\nA big thanks as well to Brigit Forssman, Program Coordinator and Digital Communications Lead. Brigit\u2019s efforts to coordinate and support this complex and evolving project have been invaluable, as has her leadership in designing and delivering a successful and creative digital communications strategy.\r\n\r\nWe are deeply appreciative of everyone's contribution to Adaptation Learning Network and our collective efforts in advancing climate adaptation capacity-building in Canada.\r\n\r\nDr. Robin Cox\r\nProfessor and Director, Resilience by Design Lab\r\nProject Lead for Adaptation Learning Network\r\nRoyal Roads University\r\nMarch 2022\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ffffff\">sdfljsfj<\/span>\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n\r\n<h3>ALN Advisory<\/h3>\r\nPaul Nuttal\r\n\r\nHanaa Sheikh\r\n\r\nBev Windjack\r\n\r\nKathy Dunster\r\n\r\nJaqueline Lowe\r\n\r\nTara Culham\r\n\r\nChristine Houghton\r\n\r\nHarshan Radhakrishnan\r\n\r\nPatricia Dehnel\r\n\r\nMilton McClaren\r\n\r\nMichelle Lamberson\r\n\r\nDeborah Harford\r\n<h3>Climate Adaptation Competency Framework<\/h3>\r\nLynn Sikorski\r\n\r\nSusanna Neiderer\r\n\r\nCarolyn Levy\r\n\r\nDennis Green\r\n\r\nBrent Ross\r\n\r\nKaren Chiang\r\n\r\nSteven Forth\r\n\r\nKexin Feng\r\n<h3>Challenge Dialogue<\/h3>\r\nKeith Jones\r\n\r\nLiese Coulter\r\n\r\nDena Kae Beno\r\n<h3>Climate Adaptation Experts<\/h3>\r\nTrevor Murdock\r\n\r\nRichard Kinley\r\n\r\nBeth Gibbons\r\n\r\nRachel Jacobson\r\n\r\nRoger Street\r\n<h3>Course Instructors<\/h3>\r\nStewart Cohen\r\n\r\nSusan Todd\r\n\r\nRoy Brooke\r\n\r\nTodd Thexton\r\n\r\nJoanna Ashworth\r\n\r\nMelina Scholefield\r\n\r\nOlive Dempsey\r\n\r\nTongli Wang\r\n\r\nJoanne Taylor\r\n\r\nThomas Munson\r\n\r\nMichele Patterson\r\n<h3>Course Delivery<\/h3>\r\nZoe MacLeod\r\n\r\nCalvin Roberts\r\n\r\nEden Jaycock\r\n\r\nMany other support staff at participating BC universities\r\n<h3>Course Development<\/h3>\r\nBeth Cougler Blom\r\n\r\nErynne Gilpin\r\n\r\nJanis Brooks\r\n\r\nShanti Besso\r\n\r\nMichelle Zeng\r\n\r\nMichelle Lamberson\r\n\r\nTusa Shea\r\n\r\nMiranda Angus\r\n\r\nJo-Anne Clarke\r\n\r\nElizabeth Brimacombe\r\n<h3>Course Development &amp; Technical Support \/\u00a0Royal Roads University<\/h3>\r\nEric Bigrigg\r\n\r\nKeith Webster\r\n\r\nCathy Pretorius\r\n\r\nTri Ningsih\r\n\r\nKaryn Lemberg\r\n<h3>Course Portfolio Planning<\/h3>\r\nMichelle Macready\r\n\r\nKari Tyler\r\n<h3>Digital Marketing, Communications and Web Design<\/h3>\r\nBrigit Forssman\r\n\r\nDenise Withers\r\n\r\nMagaly Palacios\r\n\r\nTom Woodward\r\n\r\nZac Abelson\r\n\r\nCarol Linnitt\r\n\r\nEmma Gilchrist\r\n<h3>Funding Partner \/ BC Climate Action Secretariat<\/h3>\r\nJohanna Wolf\r\n\r\nDominique Sigg\r\n\r\nAmanda Broad\r\n\r\nKatie Olthuis\r\n\r\nTina Neale\r\n<h3>Funding Partner \/ BC Ministry Advanced Education &amp; Skills Training<\/h3>\r\nSusan Burns\r\n<h3>Funding Partner \/ Natural Resources Canada<\/h3>\r\nChris Jennings\r\n\r\nDominique Auger\r\n\r\nMary Anne Wilson\r\n<h3>Indigenous Knowledge Contributors<\/h3>\r\nAsma-na-hi Antoine\r\n\r\nRuss Johnston\r\n\r\nSnxakila (Clyde Talio)\r\n\r\nElijah Mecham\r\n\r\nCoralee Miller\r\n\r\nHya-Quatcha (Chief Gordon Planes)\r\n\r\nWugadusk (David Isaac)\r\n<h3>Leadership Support\/\u00a0Royal Roads University<\/h3>\r\nPhilip Steenkamp\r\n\r\nPedro M\u00e5rquez\r\n\r\nDeborah Zornes\r\n\r\nBrigitte Harris\r\n\r\nSusan Gee\r\n<h3>Micro-credential Strategy &amp; Operations<\/h3>\r\nDavid Porter\r\n\r\nKirk Perris\r\n\r\nRoss McKerlich\r\n<h3>Open Educational Resources<\/h3>\r\nTannis Morgan\r\n\r\nKrista Lambert\r\n\r\nMary Burgess\r\n<h3>Podcast Guests<\/h3>\r\nAmanda Coolidge\r\n\r\nTamsin Lyle\r\n\r\nLo Cheng\r\n\r\nTina Rossing\r\n\r\nStephanie Wood\r\n\r\nAdam Dodd\r\n\r\nKristina Sokourenko\r\n\r\nKristine Schrage\r\n\r\nPer Espen Stoknes\r\n\r\nKyla Milne\r\n\r\nRobert LePage\r\n<h3>Program Support<\/h3>\r\nVivian Forssman\r\n\r\nAraz Hamian\r\n\r\nBeverly Devries\r\n\r\nJenny Sigalet\r\n<h3>Research Assistants<\/h3>\r\nHolly Clermont\r\n\r\nJason Young\r\n\r\nAustin Lang\r\n\r\nNigel Deans\r\n\r\nTonio Paquin\r\n\r\nJack Satzewich\r\n<h3>Video and Graphic Design and Production<\/h3>\r\nBlue Citrus\r\n\r\nNatalina Percival\r\n\r\nAlexandra Piros\r\n<h3>weADAPT Web Hosting &amp; Course Repository<\/h3>\r\nSukaina Bharwani\r\n\r\nJulia Barrott\r\n\r\nRuth Butterfield\r\n<h3>Webinar Guests<\/h3>\r\nMark Carney\r\n\r\nJohanna Wagstaffe\r\n\r\nGavin Pitchford\r\n\r\nLaniel Bateman\r\n\r\nMatt Godsoe\r\n\r\nSgaan Kwahagang\r\n\r\nIrwin DeVries\r\n\r\nAvi Lewis\r\n\r\nDeb Morrison\r\n\r\nKen Jeffery\r\n\r\nElizabeth Childs\r\n\r\nRuss Johnston\r\n\r\nCarla Lipsig-Mumme","rendered":"<p><span style=\"color: #333333\">When we initiated the Adaptation Learning Network in January 2019, we knew we needed input from climate adaptation experts, course developers, and instructors.
