 For the past three and a half years, the Citizens League's Minnesota
Anniversary Project has explored how citizens can be effective
co-producers of good policy.
We've
looked at why both citizens and public officials are too often
frustrated by processes for citizen engagement, what encourages people
to be involved, and why and how we need to change the way policy
decisions are made in order to take advantage of citizen insights and
resources.
Join project director Stacy Becker to hear about the lessons
we're taking away from the project, and to talk with Citizens League
members and staff about how we're applying these lessons to other work.
