Facilitation, strategic planning and public involvement

By leveraging strategic planning and public involvement experience, DJ Case can assist you in engaging group members and directing discussions that lead to informed decisions and conservation solutions. We have facilitated hundreds of successful gatherings by creating an environment where participants feel valued and are encouraged to share their input.

We offer a unique perspective that allows us to assess all sides of the issue, establish ground rules and objectives, and ultimately maximize the opportunity for stakeholders to work together. We also know how to avoid meeting pitfalls, retain participant focus, soothe contentious situations and tap into the creativity of participants.

Ranging from informal collaborative efforts to highly structured public input processes designed to fulfill the requirements of NEPA and state law and regulations, we can arrange and promote a full array of public involvement services such as:

• Public meetings

• Information panels

• Brochures and support materials

• Public hearings

• Court reporters and transcripts

• Open houses

• Scoping meetings

• Listening sessions

• Collaborative work spaces

• Online surveys

• Formation of review panels, task forces
  and committees
