Effective community engagement creates an atmosphere of trust in local government because people feel heard and valued; it also builds a sense of belonging. In this 75-minute interactive workshop, you will learn: how to assess your current efforts at community engagement; the difference between “outreach” and “engagement;” how to create on-going relationships that reflect the diversity of your communities; helpful policies and structures that encourage public participation; and the value of community engagement as a way to develop future community leaders.
