"I have always been a ‘people person’ and ‘problem solver’ so, naturally working in public service was the right fit. I genuinely enjoy empowering residents and allowing the opportunities for their voice to be heard." -

BRAVE, HONEST CONVERSATIONS: WHAT THEY ARE & HOW TO HAVE THEMOctober 24, 2018 - 11:00 AM Pacific Some conversations are hard to have. Fear and discomfort build in your body and you avoid and procrastinate or pretend everything is fine. Sometimes you rush in with urgency, wanting to smooth things over, fix them, and make them better. Sometimes you go to battle stations, positioning the conversation so you have a higher chance of being on the “winning” side. IAP2 November Learning Webinar Tuesday, November 13, 2018, 11:00 AM - 12:30 PM (PDT)
In our very first "Victoria Encore" Sam Imperati and Devin Howington will recount their 2018 IAP2 North American Conference session, "Prevent Truth Decay". They will ask the question, "Do public participation professionals have an obligation to help stakeholders find the truth or are we only obligated to capture their “truth?” This follows a Rand Corporation study released early this year, that noted the erosion of civil discourse and disengagement of individuals from civic institutions. Join us November 13 at 11 am Pacific. Please also note: The two-stage process for signing up for webinars. The registration confirmation email you will receive contains a link to another web page.

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.
The IAP2 USA Ambassador Program is new in 2018 and was created to give practitioners tools, resources and support to broaden the reach and implementation of good P2. In addition to the altruistic element of the program, Ambassadors have the opportunity to be seen as best practices experts, engage in best practices conversations, collaboratively brainstorm opportunities and problems, and meet potential new clients.
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!
