Community Engagement Brunch

Community engagement practitioners don't get much time to compare notes with people who actually do this work. Most days you're the one running the session, not sitting in one.

This brunch is built for that conversation. Over coffee, a small group of practitioners will talk through what's coming up in most engagement programs right now:

• Structuring the work internally
  How to set up engagement so it doesn't rest on one overloaded person.
• Briefing executive leadership
  How to brief and hold the attention of the people who make the decisions.
• Connecting input to priorities
  How to tie community input back to the priorities an administration is already being judged on.
• Keeping going when trust is low
  How to keep the work moving when residents are tired, skeptical, or sure nothing will change this time either.
