NLC Leadership Training Institute at League Conference
Public Engagement: The Vital Leadership Skill
August 30, 2011
JW Marriott Starr Pass Resort
Tucson, Arizona
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.
Presenters:
Pete Peterson, Executive Director, Davenport Institute for Public Engagement and Civic Leadership-Pepperdine University, Malibu, CA
Ed Everett, Senior Fellow, Davenport Institute for Public Engagement and Civic Leadership-Pepperdine University, Malibu, CA
