Networking

The Center advises, assists and encourages organizations in the use of effective, cutting edge public involvement methods suitable to their needs.

The Center will help clients to develop a capacity for local advisement on strategies and methods of public involvement for public or private entities that may not have this expertise within their organization. It will assist in the design and/or management of methods tailored for and appropriate to the scale of public involvement required for the consideration of selected policies or projects that impact the public.

For example, HRCCE could help address current public information needs and immediate legislative decisions associated with the Hampton Roads Transportation Authority (HRTA) and the Southeastern Public Service Authority’s (SPSA) pursuit of a long-range strategic plan.
