Attachment B <br /> C. General Strategies of Community Engagement: <br /> • Two-way communication (Bottom-up Approach) establishing stakeholder type <br /> of relationship as opposed to Top-Down Approach. <br /> • Meeting and discussing with the community in the community (not in the halls <br /> of government). <br /> • Community Engagement Commissions serve as a liaison between government <br /> and community. <br /> • Community Engagement Commissions are not the focus of their activities but <br /> represent a vehicle to transmit messages between government and community. <br /> • Outreach to under-represented/immigrant communities usually requires <br /> preparatory work prior to set meetings with experts discussing specific <br /> issues/projects. Processing information for accurate depiction of what s at stake <br /> takes longer time and effort in immigrant communities not fluent in the language <br /> of their new home. <br />
