Through a series of community dialogues and online participation from September 2012 through June 2013, members of the community collaborated with City staff, and appointed and elected officials to talk about how Alexandrians can best participate in public decision-making processes that shape the city. The initiative focused on understanding how to use civic engagement to improve the partnership between community members and City staff.
