Webinar Description:

What happens when you combine network data with the authentic voices of residents? You gain powerful insights into who is connected, who is missing, and what truly matters to your community. This presentation will share lessons from Community Network and Inductive Analyses—approaches that reveal connections, uncover resident priorities, and highlight opportunities for more effective outreach and engagement.

You’ll leave with:

• Practical strategies to meet people where they are and build trust.
• Proven outreach tactics to strengthen inclusion and participation.
• A framework for developing best practices tailored to your community’s unique needs and hopes.
