Presented by Marion Trieste.
Marion Trieste specializes in forming partnerships among the various stakeholders
affected by environmental decisions, and working to find mutually beneficial, cost
effective solutions through grassroots organizing and strategic communications
planning. Marion has over twenty years of experience designing and implementing
meaningful public involvement programs and enjoys a national reputation as a specialist
in public participation for the federal Toxic Waste Superfund program.
Marion formed Trieste Associates in 1998 to offer public outreach and campaign design
services. In this capacity she has implemented a number of successful campaigns. In
2007, Trieste Associates expanded to form a partnership with Power Communications,
a Saratoga Springs based energy public relations consultancy. The newly formed
business venture, GEOS (Green Energy Outreach Services) is the result of the
expanding demand for public outreach services. GEOS approaches today's
environmental challenges by actively engaging the people most affected by
environmental problems.
GEOS is currently working with clients to educate the public and coordinate grassroots
support in an effort to utilize wind power and other renewable energy resources
available throughout the Northeast. Marion uses her diverse network of regional
stakeholders and media relations to aide in educating the public and gaining support for
projects that protect human health and the environment.
Marion is well known in the environmental community for her tireless efforts to educate
the public about the Hudson River Superfund site and PCBs on behalf of Scenic
Hudson and the Friends of a Clean Hudson coalition from May 2000 to June 2003.
Prior to her work with Scenic Hudson, Marion was a public education campaign
coordinator, lobbyist and toxic waste specialist for ten years at the Sierra Club's
Northeast regional office. Due to her unique expertise on the importance of public
education and grassroots organizing, Marion has presented testimony on three
separate occasions to various congressional committees during the years of the
national Superfund Reauthorization debate.
