For the city of Decatur, GA public involvement and engagement is serious business. As part of the City’s successful 2010 strategic planning process, the city used a Round Table visioning process that was also used successfully in 2000 for the creation of their original strategic plan. The concept is based on the idea of identifying a wide variety of community leaders and issuing them personal invitations to get involved.  A team of local, volunteer facilitators are recruited and trained and a series of questions and discussion guides are developed to engage the community in a conversation designed to confirm a vision and identify goals to lead the community for the next 10 years.
