About the Webinar

Trying to navigate a planning process to collect community input? Want to create space to hear from the community in less formal and contentious ways? Working with community members can start with hosting events to share information, identify issues and needs, and explore potential solutions. How these events are planned and happen matter and can greatly influence how community feels about the topic and trajectory of the project.

In this webinar, you will hear from local governments about how meeting design impacted the success of their projects.

Speakers:

• Kristen Law, Sr. Community Engagement Coordinator, City and County of San Francisco 
• Christal Love Lazard, Community Engagement and Government Relations Manager, City of Elk Grove 

Conversation moderated by the Institute for Local Government
