The National Coalition for Dialogue & Deliberation (NCDD) is conducting an important survey of public engagement practitioners in collaboration with Penn’s Fels Institute of Government.

Fels is looking for stories about successful (however YOU define it) efforts to engage people in public policy and community problem-solving – as well as lessons learned from less-than-successful efforts. They’re working on a Promising Practices Report on Public Engagement, and your contributions could be featured. NCDD is looking for such stories as well, for the NCDD website and for other projects that benefit our field.

If you think your experience could contribute to these efforts, I encourage you to take a few minutes to complete this survey today (deadline is next Friday).

The survey is online at www.surveymonkey.com/s/promisingpractices (feel free to share this link with your colleagues and networks!)
