RE: How do Local Governments Inspire Community Engagement and Perform Public Outreach? Pierce County, Washington State
Thank you so much! I hope to prove though, that a website isn't much considering we have several dedicated to other services related to bringing business and money into the city. For example, the economic impact website. It isn't just this I plan to talk about, but the fact that many informational materials required for the county to receive federal funding from the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development are hard to find and the documents that are available just aren't up to par with the legal federal requirements, literally some of the documents totally skip several key requirements.
I really appreciate your support and encouragement it's inspiring to hear someone else's story about creating community impact and I hope down the road we can do business together. I am definitely going to work as hard as I can to start taking action now. I am still working on building my confidence up but people like you help me feel better about what I hope to acheive. I really can't thank you enough for your comment, and I will check out your article now!
Thank you again,
Zamara!
Zamara I am truly excited for you. We need more people who have the motivation, drive, and guts to weed through the depths of these oftentimes confusing and old systems in order to discover their limitations and offer new a better solutions! There's so much value in that. The huge realization I have had, especially in working with the city, is that we have much more power than we think. Put politics aside and just go straight to the source. You can actually make real change there. You're on the right path!
