As you know, we’re trying to get our panel “14 Ways to Make Online Citizen Participation Work” accepted to SXSW 2010. Yes, the polls are still open so head on over to the Panel Picker and sign up to cast your vote of support, thanks!
I am very excited to join forces with two exceptional co-panelists, both experts in the field of public engagement:
- Brad Rourke is an independent consultant based in Rockville, MD. Among the many pieces of work experience relevant to the subject of this panel, he has authored numerous issue guides for public dialogue for National Issues Forums Institute, Everyday Democracy and others (for example this one on healthcare that’s currently still being used). Check out Brad’s about page and you’ll agree he’ll make a great panelist. Read his prolific blog or follow @bradrourke on Twitter.
- Taylor Willingham is the Director of Texas Forums, an initiative of the LBJ Presidential Library & Museum. She is a board member of the National Coalition for Dialogue and Deliberation (NCDD). Take the time and check out her extensive CV (PDF) and see for yourself why she’s such a great fit for this panel. Taylor lives in Salado, TX (near Austin). Find occasional updates on her blog or follow @taylorwill on Twitter.
Both Taylor and Brad were session leaders at the No Better Time conference recently.
My goal is to assemble the absolute best-available team for this panel. We may announce another co-panelist shortly, or we may just leave the remaining one or two spots unfilled until we know who’ll be at SXSW for sure. It would be very nice to welcome an international contributor or someone who has worked within government to make e-participation happen. Please contact me or leave a comment if you plan on going and would like to be considered.
