Join Confab Call with Participatory Budgeting Project, 3/23
We wanted to share a friendly reminder that we are hosting out next NCDD Confab Call this Wednesday, March 23rd from 2-3pm Eastern / 11am-12pm Pacific, and you won’t want to miss it! This month’s Confab will focus on the Participatory Budgeting Project (PBP), an NCDD member organization and the leading US group working with participatory budgeting.
On this Confab, we will hear from PBP’s Communications Director David Beasley about participatory budgeting, and PBP’s work to bring this approach to managing public money to cities, districts and schools. PB is one of the fastest-growing D&D processes today, and David will talk with us about the that has created both successes challenges for PBP. We’ll also hear about PBP’s current PB Squared initiative (PB^2) which uses the participatory budgeting process to bring forward ideas on improving participatory budgeting practices. And of course, we’ll preview the upcoming Participatory Budgeting Conference in Boston.
The Confab will also feature Allison Rizzolo from Public Agenda, who will share about PA’s project aimed at evaluating participatory budgeting processes around the country. Come ready to learn more about this exciting work and to contribute your ideas about how PB can continue to develop and advance our field as a whole.
