Many ways to participate
Divider text here
Richmond 300 will be developed with extensive community engagement. As such, there will be numerous ways to participate - some more time-intensive than others. The entire engagement process is outlined in the Draft Process and Engagement Plan found here.
The Advisory Team is an adhoc sub-committee of the City Planning Commission. The Advisory Team serves as 1) a sounding board to help shape the content of Richmond 300; and 2) liaisons to the community at large by helping to build awareness of and participating in the plan update process. The Advisory Team is the most intensive way to be engaged in the Master Plan process. The team has 15 members (two of which are City Planning Commission members). The remaining members will be selected via an open call.
The Advisory Team applications are due on August 21, 2017. For more information, see the Advisory Team Application.
In 2018, the Advisory Team will establish Advisory Work Teams that will be based on topics that emerge through community conversations. The Advisory Work Teams will be comprised of community members and City staff. Advisory Work Teams will be critical in shaping the goals, strategies, and actions that will comprise the Master Plan.
If you're interested in joining the Advisory Work Teams, add your name to the Richmond 300 email list (richmond300@richmondgov.com) or follow us on Facebook so you are notified when the Work Teams are established.
The Ambassadors are volunteers that assist in spreading the word about the Master Plan and also assist by staffing community events (such as the Town Halls, community events, community meetings, mobile meeting, etc.). The city staff is working out the exact details of the Richmond 300 Ambassador program, but we'd like to begin gathering a cadre of Ambassadors now. We'll have an Ambassador orientation sometime soon.
If you are interested in becoming an Ambassador, send an email to richmond300@richmondgov.com with "Ambassador" in the subject.
We will host town hall meetings throughout the process. Please join our mailing list and follow us on Facebook so you are notified when the Town Halls are scheduled.
We know that Town Hall meetings do not reach all audiences. We will have mobile meetings to help reach traditionally under-represented populations.
