Have you heard the buzz?  This highly interactive workshop is bringing together folks from the public sector, public engagement practitioners, students, and interested citizens for a rich day of learning and dialogue on how to raise the bar in public engagement. Be sure to join us on November 5 and you will:

• Learn from community examples and real life stories of engagement efforts in Central Texas around a wide range of topics – water, education, community planning, recreation and more.
• Experience firsthand a variety of methods that can be applied to public engagement.
• Explore online and face-to-face techniques, and grapple with some of the tough questions around the use of these tools.
• Identify approaches to work across traditional boundaries and foster collaborations that get results.

Don’t miss out on the in-depth discussion and the practical strategies that can help your next public engagement process be more satisfying and successful!  Registration for this one-day event is $85 ($70 for NCDD members and $42 for students) and includes lunch.  Learn more by emailing and register today at www.ncdd.org/austin2010.
