“It’s tough to make sure you're meeting people where they are.” - Jordan Davis, Director of Community & Economic Development, City of Pittsburg, CA You can do all the right things - send flyers, post online, bring it up in public meetings - and still not get the participation you hoped for in your city event. In this video, Jordan Davis, Elizabeth M Gibbs, MPA, City Manager from City of Beaumont, CA, and Gus Romo, Deputy City Manager (until recently) from Bell Gardens, CA, talk honestly about city events and community initiatives that didn’t get the response they expected - and what that says about resident engagement in 2025. 💬 Have you experienced that disconnect between effort and participation? 👇 Share your insights in the comments. #LocalGovernment #ResidentEngagement #CivicEngagement #CityLeaders #GovTech #PublicSector #PublicParticipation #California #CommunityEngagement League of California Cities
