Building Trust and Engagement through Resident Academies
Tuesday, December 1, 2026, 12:30 – 2:00 PM

About the Webinar

Trust in government is a delicate asset, and in an era of high polarization, traditional public comment often feels more like therapy than productive engagement. To build a resilient community, local agencies must move beyond one-way information sharing and invest in deep resident engagement. This webinar explores the strategic blueprint for successful resident academies, and attendees will learn how to move from “just an idea” to a sustainable program that creates a pipeline of informed civic leaders.
