Presenters from St. Paul, Memphis and Los Angeles offer three different perspectives on getting better outcomes from public meetings and suggest techniques for expanding outreach and gaining support. Learn about psychological concepts that can be applied to add transparency and consistency to the public process while increasing insight and buy-in.
