Details Matter: Getting People Involved

Abstract

Sometimes getting people into the habit of community participation can be a bit challenging, but two aspects can help make this a little easier. The first is to make sure that there are no organizational barriers in participating, and the second is to realize that community participation happens on several levels and that each level has certain expectations. When these expectations are clearly stated, people are more easily motivated to get involved and stay involved. Setting up engagement from the beginning requires thought and attention to detail. It can be insignificant things, like choosing a date or picking a location, that impact participation. Also, knowing the level of participation desired or expected can either encourage or discourage future community participation. Details like these are easily overlooked. But, with a little careful planning, they become a personal and professional habit that builds up a positive culture of community participation.
