Connecting Communities: Public Engagement from NBS

Ongoing outreach, public engagement, and adaptive management are vital in facilitating the governance objectives of public agencies. A division of NBS, CivicMic works with public servants to bring citizen voices into governance by providing new methods of public interaction by data sharing with interactive media. Engaging community members on a continuous basis increases a community’s livability and builds trust by improving communications between public servants, community leaders and the public. Commitment to outreach and linking community members’ participation to the decision-making process is the number one goal of CivicMic.
