“What drove me to try structured, planned public engagement was my awful experience with unstructured, unplanned public engagement.” – John Nalbandian, former Mayor of Lawrence, Kansas

You’re beyond going through the motions! You want genuine input from residents, stakeholders, or the public at large because you know:

a) involving people on the front end saves you time, money, and frustration on the back end
b) those impacted by your work, especially those voices not often heard, have valuable contributions to make
c) a broad range of perspectives leads to robust ideas and better informed decisions
d) engaging the public creates greater understanding and higher levels of support
