COMMUNITY OUTREACH AND CHARRETTES
Planning Associates provides a wide range of public and stakeholder involvement services characterized by
inclusiveness, transparency and informed participation. Our planners are certified in both public meeting
facilitation and charrette management by the National Charrette Institute. We approach each project as a unique
opportunity and work closely with clients to define outreach expectations and strategies. Some projects are best
served by neighborhood meetings; other require multiple public meetings or charrettes, focus groups, walking
and/or bus tours, preference and opinion surveys (written, in person or by telephone) and media coordination.
