If you’re feeling lost on how to work community engagement into your 2020 and 2021 plans, you’re not alone. With so much going on, and such limited interpersonal interaction, it might seem like engagement is a back-burner item. I’m here to offer an alternative perspective, give you a toolkit of simple tactics, and show the importance of continued, high quality community engagement.
At Connect the Dots, it is our mission to build better cities, towns, and neighborhoods through inclusive, insight-driven stakeholder engagement. We help community, private, and public sector partners to develop creative solutions that move projects and cities forward. Engagement is at the heart of this pursuit, which is why we are sharing our practices with you.
