NLC Leadership Training Institute Seminar
Public Engagement: The Vital Leadership Skill
Cost: $55
How do you define civic engagement? A late Senator said, "Civic engagement is a device whereby public officials induce non-public officials to act in a way the
public officials' desire". Throughout America, city leaders are learning that this rather cynical definition no longer works if it ever did. From budgets to land
use, local elected officials are facing decisions of a scope they have never witnessed. Gain a better understanding of what public engagement really is and
develop a framework to customize a plan for convening your own residents. Explore the definitions of the 'what', 'why' and 'how' of civic engagement in a way that
will encourage a positive civic participation to meet the goals of your community. The intentional and legitimate engagement of your residents has never been
more important.
