Davenport Institute for Public Engagement and Civic Leadership

The Davenport Institute for Public Engagement and Civic Leadership works with local governments, non-profit organizations, and residents to both promote and support constructive and broad-based civic involvement in decisions that affect people where they live and work. Our vision is to be a champion of public engagement as a 21st century leadership skill for local governments and residents to succeed together.  We seek to support local governments in California and across the country through training, thought-leadership, and convening.
