Consultations
At iNetwork, we collaborate with government partners to provide essential consultations. A consultation is any activity that empowers local individuals to voice their opinions and influence key decisions. It involves actively listening to and learning from the community before policies are formulated or priorities established. Effective consultation is one of the most critical actions government can undertake. By engaging meaningfully with local voices and our members, we enhance the creation and implementation of policies.
We offer a diverse array of consultation opportunities tailored to various program areas and topics for all iNetwork members. These consultations are designed to address a range of interests and concerns, with the goal of influencing public policy through informed dialogue. Take a look below at any of the consultations we have been apart of.
