The Michigan Municipal League Foundation is developing a Consensus Building curriculum and we need help from our communities. Specifically, we\u2019re looking for your stories in two key areas:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Stories of members trying community engagement strategies.<\/strong> We\u2019re looking for both stories of success and stories where the community engagement practice didn\u2019t necessarily pan out.<\/li>\n
  2. Stories of projects municipal leaders were excited about, but didn\u2019t go according to plan or be received as anticipated. <\/strong>An example would be a municipality built a community center in a particular neighborhood thinking it would be wonderful for the community, but it hasn\u2019t been used as planned, etc.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    If you have story ideas related to these two items we would love to hear from you as we develop a new Consensus Building curriculum. Please share your story ideas by emailing the MML Foundation\u2019s Grace Carey at gcarey@mml.org<\/a>. Thank you!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
