All posts in the topic Citizen Media and Engagement Links from Winona Outreach Event (Short link)

From: Steven Clift Date: Jun 19 18:34 UTC Short link

Oh Winona! It was great to see a full room in the City Hall conference room
last
night and to catch up as you relaunch your community's Issues Forum. Tim
Erickson and I really appreciated the hospitality. Some video was captured, so
perhaps some interesting clips will surface.

Folks asked that we share links to the website we displayed (and a few more)
with all of you. As I said at the event, Issues Forums are the essential "egg"
and lots of these citizen media projects are the chickens (which I now
understand you can keep in the city now :-)).

Four more regional events are planned including an event in Fergus Falls next
