Reviewing Our 2024 Trends in Online Community Engagement 📈 Each year, we explore trends in online community engagement and forecast what the next 12 months might hold. At the end of the year, we reflect on how how we did. By engaging with our clients, potential customers, and professionals across the community engagement field—ranging from local and state governments to industries and not-for-profits—we gain valuable insights to help us understand how community engagement processes are used in their decision-making. As 2024 comes to a close, let’s take a moment to look back on our trend predictions from earlier this year and see how we did by reading our full article below! #CommunityEngagement #PublicParticipation #CommunityEngagementTrends #DigitalEngagement

Last week I wrapped up my work travel for the year with a trip to Melbourne and specifically our pop-up with the Banyule City Council. It was a great turn out with 40 people from Government, NFP, Water and Power Utilities and as I described them, lovingly, a gaggle of consultants. I rounded up my presentations from our Equity in Engagement study and Belinda from Banyule told a story about their specially commissioned aboriginal art piece that they use in their community engagement processes. Our Equity in Engagement wrap up will conclude soon with an e-Book covering the survey results and some of the stories we have collected since it closed. To be notified when that e-Book is ready make sure you sign up to our Social Pinpoint e-newsletter in LinkedIn, Pinpoint. #communityengagement #digitalengagement #networking
