How to Achieve True Diversity and Equity in Community Engagement

With public meetings off the table due to COVID-19 and agencies transforming the way they engage the public, diversity and equity has emerged as the most critical topic facing community engagement in 2020. Join our panel of experts for a deep dive into the most effective strategies to safely reach the most vulnerable and traditionally underrepresented people in our communities. Whether it’s the environmental justice community, a key demographic for your project, or people without access to technology, each of these difficult to reach audiences can be engaged using the right method.

Our panelists Melissa Holguin from Arellano Associates and Dave Biggs from MetroQuest will systematically lay out best practices and techniques for going beyond the usual suspects to engage even the most difficult to reach audiences. From innovative online tools to social media tricks to no-tech strategies, this hour-long webinar will be packed with proven methods that you can apply to your outreach process during COVID-19 and beyond.

Great webinar! Opened my eyes to new possibilities.

This was great, with immediately applicable insights.

Dave & Melissa were both excellent presenters. Knowledgeable, fact based and kept the session moving a good pace.

Very relevant webinar given the status of community engagement and need to meet not only diverse methods of communication, but also retain an ability to reach all demographics.
