Participate in NCDD’s Field-Wide Inventory!
What if we knew how many dialogue and deliberation events took place in a typical year? (Or at least had SOME way to guess!) What if we had a sense of which approaches people in the D&D community specialized in and had training in? What if we had a sense of when practitioners and organizations in our field were more likely to collaborate with their peers?
NCDD’s Inventory Survey was designed to get answers to these questions and more from individuals and from organizations in the field, and we invite you to participate! The results will be shared with our partner in this project, the Kettering Foundation, and will be summarized and distributed widely in the field.
It is our hope to also use some of this data to create a broad-based map of facilitators and organizations, searchable by location, approach used, and issues you specialize in. This map is part of our strategy to connect more people to the facilitation expertise they need, much more quickly than is possible today. We believe that now, more than ever, the skills of dialogue and deliberation are needed to address pressing issues in communities across the country, often in a very quick time frame.
If you or your organization does any kind of dialogue or deliberation work, we ask that you take the time to complete this survey before the December 7th deadline. It should only take you 15 minutes or less to complete and is NOT limited to members of the NCDD community or those based only in the U.S.
Let’s see what we can learn about this vital field!
- If you are answering for yourself only, please complete the Inventory for Individuals.
- If you would like to respond on behalf of your organization, please complete the Inventory for Organizations.
