Community engagement done well doesn't look like a checkbox — it looks like people showing up because they trust you're listening. This session covers the national standards behind strong engagement and walks through real examples you can adapt.

What you'll learn

• The National Standards for Community Engagement — all ten, from involvement and planning to feedback and ongoing evaluation.

• Real examples of engagement done well: cross-sector collaborations, crowdsourcing contests, town halls, and public panels.

• Case examples drawn from real community events, including panel and forum formats you can adapt.

Who it's for:  Community engagement staff, program managers, and anyone designing outreach that needs to earn real participation.

Format:  Virtual workshop with real-world case examples.
