Public decision-making now happens under a magnifying glass. Agendas, documents, decisions, and applications are easy to access online, and opinions can form overnight through social media. Join us on October 20 for a practical conversation on how to foster understanding, manage opposition, and build trust when scrutiny is high.
If you’re recommending, making, or seeking a decision in a public forum, controversy is often part of the process. Budgets, public works, zoning, permits, development plans, environmental projects, and community initiatives are all subject to public scrutiny — and often opposition.
Our panel of public affairs, government relations, and public relations experts will cover:
- The complementary roles of public affairs and public relations
- Addressing opposition before it takes over the conversation
- Effective community engagement tactics
- Managing diverse stakeholders
- Building trust through empathy and transparency
- Best — and worst — practices for public forums
- Restoring calm after the decision
