Easy and Important Ways You Can Help the Citizens League
We need YOUR help!Here are three very simple but important things you can do to help the Citizens League!
Survey on Citizen Involvement Processes
Through MAP 150, we have been carefully observing how citizen involvement processes work. We’ve also done an extensive literature search that seems to verify much of what we’re experiencing and observing. It also verifies that the Citizens League is at the cutting edge of understanding citizen involvement processes. We want to add to that understanding by trying to draw a realistic picture of how citizen involvement processes work today.
What you can do:
1. Take this citizen survey (it's multiple choice and it will take less than 10 minutes.)
2. Forward the link to the citizen survey to friends, family and colleagues - we want to hear from as many people as possible!
The more people who take the survey, the more accurate the results will be - so please take a few moments to think about your many contacts. Your answers will be tallied and compared with those of government officials.
I Am Minnesota's Future video contest
In celebration of Minnesota’s 150th anniversary of statehood on May 11, we have announced the “I Am Minnesota’s Future” video contest for teenagers. There are great prizes for individuals as well as group entries (such as classroom projects), including a Sony camcorder and Target gift cards. Please help spread the word. The contest will have a distinguished panel of judges and we are arranging for the winning videos to be shown in a number of venues. (If you have ideas or contacts for these, that would be fabulous too!)
3. Help publicize our Students Speak Out video contest (for example, send an email link, post a link on your website or blog, tell your children and grandchildren). Go to www.StudentsSpeakOut.org for more information.
