Description

Meaningful public input is at the heart of a responsive and representative SILC. This SILC Connection will explore practical ways to gather, document, and use feedback from community stakeholders. Discover how to create inclusive opportunities for engagement and transform public perspectives into actionable guidance for your council’s work.

Join us for an engaging SILC Connection, open to all members and staff of SILCs.

It’s the perfect opportunity for everyone involved with the SILC—whether you’re frontline staff, management, or a council member—to ask those burning questions and seek guidance.

Think of it as a supportive roundtable where sharing knowledge is the name of the game and where we can all help each other shine a little brighter. So, mark your calendars and get ready to connect, collaborate, and conquer those challenges together!

ASL, CART, and Spanish Interpretation will be provided.
