Public Engagement » Public Outreach + Involvement

COC designs and manages hundreds of public and stakeholder outreach projects for local, regional and state governmental agencies. Our talented writers, facilitators, graphics specialists and support staff provide a full range of public involvement services. Our innovative and successful public outreach efforts are designed to meet the needs of each project and include:

• Public meetings, workshops, open houses, charrettes, forums and town halls
• Advisory committees and task forces
• Stakeholder interviews, meetings and focus groups
• Informational materials
• Surveys and questionnaires
• Project web sites
• Presentations
• Media communications
• Non-traditional approaches for hard-to-reach populations, including those whose first language is not English

Utilizing our many tools and techniques, we bring the public into the planning process early to give them the opportunity to receive information and provide opinions and guidance to decision-makers, with results that have the broadest possible support.
