Public Involvement and Community Outreach

Sharing information and engaging members of the public are powerful tools in shaping opinion and earning support for your cause. In today's crowded media environment, actively involved individuals and organizations can make the difference when decision-makers address an issue.

The Resolute Consulting team has worked "on the ground" in communities across the Midwest, with experience in promoting issues and conducting multi-faceted outreach efforts. We have vast experience in creating two-way communications processes, engaging stakeholders in productive and dynamic dialogue, and helping you develop a strong, positive profile with third parties and encouraging them to become partners in your effort.

• COALITION-BUILDING - Effective coalitions take many forms. Sometimes it's more important to interact with as many people or organizations as possible to build broad, grassroots support. Other times, the focus is on opinion and thought leaders.  Whether the issue requires a full-force grassroots campaign, or one more targeted to grasstops leadership, the Resolute Consulting team has the experience to identify appropriate stakeholders, craft messages that resonate, and make sure the appropriate mechanisms are used to disseminate information.
• ORGANIZING - Experienced organizers know that the process of engaging a community does not always happen in neat, predictable steps. Knowing the communities you will be working in, and the history of the issues you are addressing, will greatly increase the success of building a base of support and mobilizing them to take action.
• COMMUNITY OUTREACH - Community outreach focuses on educating individual leaders and organizations that are likely to already have a stake in your organizations and your issues. We can help introduce your issues to a community, host public meetings and establish your organization as a "good neighbor."
