Hi there,
Thank you to everyone who joined us on this month's Municipal Government Representative Community of Practice on Tuesday, August 13. During this call, Marc Todd of the Niagara Prosperity Initiative shared how they evaluate the projects they fund, and how they communicate those evaluations to stakeholders.
The meeting notes and the powerpoint slides are now available online.
Our next meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, October 15 from 1-2pm ET. The topic is: What are effective strategies to engage municipal leaders so that we get our issue on the agenda?
Please let me know if you are interested in presenting on this topic, or would like to chair, by September. We hope you are able to join us next time. In the meantime, please reach out to me with any further questions.
If you had not yet registered for the group, please do so here.
