Governments often rely on vendors to find out what technology can do for public engagement. But vendors have a vested interest in a particular platform. This conversation would help identify a framework for matching the purpose of engagement to the appropriate type of platform, and for developing some key questions to ask when considering any vendor, platform or application.\tAPPROXIMATE\t34.005000\t-118.810100\n80124\tCO\tMonday\tLunch\tCity of Lone Tree\tLearn from the City of Lone Tree about microtranist service, Link on Demand.

From that survey, South City developed a two-year action plan to address those career progression needs, called LEAP: Leadership, Education and Advancement Planning.

The county has started attracting small businesses that marry tourism and manufacturing because the large manufacturing companies have long left the area. The county also attempts to leverage our natural assets by creating partnerships between our tourism department and emergency services to promote safety with our natural resources for visitors.

The differences found between neighborhoods contributes to the character of Long Beach but also presents challenges and often highlights the strong impact that \u201cplace\u201d has on the health outcomes for individuals who live there. Health status indicators vary widely across geography, racial\/ethnic groups, gender, and age and where one lives in Long Beach determines their health status including major disparities in life expectancy. Long Beach\u2019s livability initiative started with programs and improvements that improved places and spaces to encourage walking, biking, and swimming, yet we need to do more so that where one lives in Long Beach does not determine their health status and life expectancy. Learn about recent livability improvements in Long Beach including successes, lessons learned, and innovative approaches.

In Ohio, three such consortiums were formed \u2013 one near Cleveland in 1996, a second near Cincinnati in 2003, and a third near Dayton in 2005.
