Public engagement is so important for a public agency like PlanRVA. Positive connections with the community matter, and this plan lays out the framework for the approach to make that connection. Take a few minutes and let them know whether they're getting it right or if there's something else to consider.
Help us ensure our Public Engagement Plan is on the right track. It is intended as a broad guide of what to consider when we engage the public for our transportation activities. Your comments are welcome: https://lnkd.in/eFj_GpFf

I recently had the privilege to sit down with Christopher Lavoie, CMCP and Brad Fitzgerald of Penobscot Regional Communications Center to discuss at length their incredible contact center transformation, which has already improved public safety services in Penobscot County, ME. In a short amount of time Penobscot has seen a 20%+ increase in call diversion on their emergency phone lines, which allows Penobscot County to better serve true emergencies, while still providing fast resolutions to non-emergency inquiries. Their non-emergency call diversion solution isn't just a new contact center deployment, it's transforming the way the people of Penobscot County communicate with emergency and non-emergency services. Penobscot Regional Communications Center is pioneering this technology, and our goal at Morse. is to enable widespread adoption around the county, which will improve quality of life for people all across America. Let's set a new standard in public safety. Watch the conversation here: https://lnkd.in/gVuYveV8

I am incredibly proud of Kacie Fuselier Gurney for this remarkable achievement. Transitioning from a small shop to a larger one has provided me with the staff needed to produce, write and create content, making this a highly rewarding experience. I entrusted Kacie with the tools and creative freedom to redesign Talk of the Township, offering minimal direction. Being a leader involves trusting your team to be creative and produce excellent work. Watching Kacie win this award is more gratifying than any personal accolade I have ever received. Fantastic job, Kacie! #LocalGovernment #PublicCommunication #CommunityEngagement #GovernmentTransparency #CivicInnovation #MunicipalLeadership #DigitalGovernance #PublicSector #CommunityOutreach #GovernmentRelations #PublicAffairs #CivicParticipation #LocalGovTech #CitizenEngagement #PublicService

Federal Broadband Mandates Driving the Need for Connectivity Hubs Ilissa Miller, Founder & CEO iMiller Public Relations, explores the importance of making sure networks work for the communities they serve. The Broadband Equity Access and Deployment Program (BEAD) is well underway. Across the nation and all U.S.-owned territories, $42.5 billion in Federal funding is being deployed to construct broadband networks. These funds are allocated to companies that can help bridge underconnected communities in order to expand the United States’ broadband infrastructure with increased capacity and reach to everyone. Each state receives federal funds for specific projects; the grant dollars are distributed to businesses through an application process that validates their design and solutions that meet the program requirements. The program funds are administered by the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA), a United States Department of Commerce organization, with key deadlines and criteria required to be met along the way. As an example, San Martin-based South Valley internet recently announced it has received up to $30 million in funding from the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC), leveraging California’s allocated BEAD funding, to extend broadband services to underserved communities. https://lnkd.in/g6HdWrwk
