 Introducing the 2019 IAP2 North American Conference - Leveraging P2 to Create Thriving Communities where presenters and luminaries from around the globe will join together to share ideas, practices, and tools to help you create lasting change in your community. P2 can be used in all types of communities: communities of practice; communities of interest; communities where we live, work, or play. Some of our communities are connected to a specific place or region, while others are connected through a shared task or purpose. Our P2 communities meet human and societal needs for infrastructure, transportation, energy, health, public safety, education, and technology, for example. Many of our communities are interconnected, and we may leverage P2 in one community to create or sustain another. Call for Session submissions are now OPEN and will be accepted through February 21, 2019. Visit our page to learn more. Join us at the 2019 IAP2 North American Conference and join your international P2 community of practice. IAP2 February Learning Webinar Tuesday, February 12, 2019, 11:00 AM - 12:30 PM (PDT)
Revamping an entire country's criminal justice system ... building an energy pipeline through 10 counties ... huge scenarios with the potential to disrupt thousands - millions - of lives. In both cases, the proponents recognized the many ways people would be affected, and determined to engage the public at every stage, in order to achieve the best results all around. In the USA, Williams Energy and Outreach Experts launched a huge public engagement campaign surrounding the building of the Atlantic Sunrise pipeline project. Since ten counties in Eastern Pennsylvania were in the path of the pipeline, Williams set out to make sure all interests were considered and addressed; dozens of route changes were made as a result of the consultations, and numerous grassroots organizations were part of the conversation.

AnnouncementsIn the 2018 IAP2 USA National Dialogue, we hope to learn what P2 practitioners and other community engagement professionals say about the P2 practices currently being used in these projects and how the public can be engaged more successfully in the future. Over the coming year, we want to learn how the revived spirit of "localism" in large and small communities across the country is impacting decision-making where we live and work.
Monthly Learning Webinars give IAP2 members a chance to hear about ideas, trends, technologies and approaches that can enhance their practice. Our presenters also provide links and other collateral material to help promote your professional development!
