Elected officials and leaders of organizations face hard decisions that affect communities and the people who live there. Although it is not always required, engaging the public is a best practice when many people are interested and/or will be affected. The process a leader uses to make these choices can increase public trust and support for decisions.
This series is intended to help decision-makers consider when and how to engage the public effectively. Each tip sheet serves as a stand-alone informational resource. Or, when used together, the sheets provide a fuller set of best practices and insights for engaging effectively with the public to make informed decisions.
