The UW-Madison Public Participation Learning Community meets monthly on the 3rd Monday of the month, 2:30-4:30 pm, at Memorial Union (check TITU for exact room location). Each month, the group shares strategies and resources together, including advice on projects that members are undertaking in their work on campus and in the community.
On January 26th (note date change this month), we will continue our conversation with Donna Cole regarding the new "Center for Creating a Healthy Mind" being developed on the UW campus.
For additional information, contact Harry Webne-Behrman, OHRD Training Officer, at 262-9934 or hwebnebehrman@ohr.wisc.edu .
I am sending along the link to the new Community Engagement web page created by the Minnesota folks I worked with last month. I think this is an example of two things: public participation activity and collaboration. It was very fun to be a part of this group. 125 school board members and superintendents attended the workshop.

The site can be accessed through either the Minnesota Association of School Administrators or the Minnesota School Board Association. I have listed the MASA link.
The group is working on including a comprehensive resource list.
