Why Comment? You’ve Already Made Up Your Mind: Effective Collaboration and Public Participation
MAY 17 | 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM ET
SPEAKER:
Amy Livingston, Public & Stakeholder Involvement Discipline Leader, CDM Smith
“Why should I comment? You’ve already made up your mind.” Combat this phrase by closing the public feedback loop before your next engagement. Learn to incorporate public input and demonstrate the value of their insight. Don’t just check the box; increase public understanding of proposed solutions, increase credibility, reduce controversy and foster transparent decision making.
ATTENDEE TAKEAWAYS:
1. Differentiate the types of public input that are useful for your project
2. Formulate ways in which public input may shape the planning process
3. Describe ways to close the feedback loop with the public to build trust
