This report discusses the need for more of a public voice presence in civic engagement from both &#8220;sides&#8221;; from the government or organization to more authentically engage the community and the citizenry to be more active in engage those who make decisions.

		<description><![CDATA[As many of you know, NCDD has been working with the U.S.&#160;Department of Justice&#8217;s Community Relations Service&#160;since last October&#8217;s NCDD national conference,&#160;to organize meetings between NCDD members and CRS staff at their fourteen&#160;regional field offices. This was inspired, in part, by CRS director Grande Lum&#8217;s speech at the conference. We wanted to let the network know that&#160;meetings have begun taking place in several cities over the past few&#160;months, and more are&#160;in the works! These meetings are an exciting opportunity to start a productive&#160;relationship with staff [&#8230;] <a href="http://ncdd.org/18392">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

For those who don&#8217;t know, David is president and CEO of the Kettering Foundation. For his talk, we asked David to orient attendees&#160;to the&#160;past and present landscape in Washington for dialogue and deliberation. &#160;We wanted him to look back to his days in the Ford administration, and reflect on what he and Kettering have learned over the years about how citizen deliberation can influence Washington politics [&#8230;] <a href="http://ncdd.org/17783">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>
