They are very interested in having an opportunity to review material and give their input, just as those who were at the event had an opportunity to do so. After each open house we should post a replica of what went on at each open house for a period of time after the public event (including video and ppts of speakers). A website should contain all of the material and a link to a survey for each of the questions brought before the public during the open house and allow others who were unable to attend the meeting to give their input as well. 2) Speakers at the public meetings should have a more dynamic interaction with the audience. Some speakers at the first public meeting presented data in a very dry and possibly overwhelming way. We need lively, engaging speakers when presenting material and data. 6/1/2016 10:53 AM 29 1) I have spoken with many people who simply could not make it to the 1st public forum.
