New Approaches to Community Engagement

Evening Forum

The community engagement process is critical to the creation of sustainable, successful places, but too often we rely on the same worn tropes and techniques in an attempt to give more people a voice. Hear from leaders across a variety of industries whose everyday work connects them with communities to learn what real, holistic engagement looks like.
