Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

Public Engagement

Abelita begins with a fundamental guiding principle of Public Engagement and that is, “Those who are affected by a decision have a right to be involved in the decision-making process,” (IAP2). Whether it’s internal, external, digital or in person, engagement must be purposeful and tailored for each initiative.  It must use multiple communications channels to reach diverse audiences and demonstrate the value of equity and inclusion. Complex initiatives require exemplary and courageous leadership, promote deliberative dialogue, and build consensus that leads to transformative change and progress.

 

Abelita can assist in developing strategic action plans for engagement using surveys, constructive dialogues, community outreach, demographic studies, lead collaborative processes, create effective communications for print media, broadcast, and digital platforms. Abelita has extensive experience in achieving meaningful outcomes, working in a virtual or face to face environment. Don’t let public opposition derail your progress.
