Level Up: The Public Visioning Meeting

The Public Visioning Meeting

LEVEL UP with this training by Mary Baker! She will guide you through a Public Visioning Meetings, providing insight into what to expect and how to effectively navigate and influence them. Citizen Ninjas’ role in self-government is supported by civic, electoral, and political opportunities, such as volunteering for a board position, voting, running for office, and delivering public comments. To enable and encourage robust community engagement, transparency laws define how different government agencies must provide public access to the management of the people’s business. One of the mechanisms for transparent government is a “public visioning meeting”. In this training, Mary will describe what you need to know about visioning theater: What is the plot? Who are the actors? How is the play staged? What is the setting? What is behind the curtain? How to discern the drama? How to reach the finale citizens deserve? Theater is exactly what these public visioning meetings are. And if you think of it this way, it makes it easier to objectify the experience, make it less emotional, and allows you to create an effective activism campaign strategy to face it. So, if you will indulge me, let’s go to the visioning theater!
