Are you getting enough recognition for the work you do to engage citizens? Do you think you have the most innovative project or your organisation or agency is the world’s best in conducting public participation?
If so, how about entering the International Association for Public Participation (IAP2) 2010 Core Values Awards. You could be standing in Scarborough in the UK in October receiving your award from an international judging panel.
Do you do P2 better than any one else? Are you using P2 tools and techniques to engage citizens in decision-making that will stand the test of time? Are you dealing with intractable problems that just won’t go away and because of your approach you are now breaking through with solutions?
Each year IAP2 hosts annual awards to promote excellence and innovation in public participation practices.
There are bound to be potential winners in the GovLoop network who are facing challenges and are overcoming them through public participation.
