Surveys

Surveys are an easy way to gain feedback from a broad section of your population. A survey collects information about your residents and measures their opinions about the current state of a system or facility, priorities, desires, and other data you may want to collect.

Focus groups and listening sessions

Focus groups and listening sessions gather a smaller cohort of people but offer more in-depth insights about what key community stakeholders and representatives think through interactive questions, conversations, and activities. in our planning process, these feedback gained in these is frequently used to help shape a survey.

Public meetings

Public meetings are held to present ideas, plans, and decisions to your community in a open forum where they can ask questions and offer opinions. This feedback can help shape or reshape a project or plan and give you a chance to “show off” what you’ve accomplished at the end.

Pop-up events

Pop-ups can take many forms, from a booth at the county fair to tables at farmer’s markets, festivals, and other public events. These events are important ways to take engagement “on the road” and hear from your community in places where they gather, especially important for whose who can’t attend a meeting.
