Facilitation

Picture
At ECICOG, we strongly believe the involvement of elected officials, civic partners, businesses, non-profits and residents in planning and decision-making processes leads to better outcomes.  Our planning processes always include a plan for citizen engagement and outreach. We also convene groups like the annual City Clerks Workshop and the Legislative Forum to share knowledge throughout the region.  

Guiding to Goals

When the communities within the watershed of Indian Creek decided to form a management group to create a cleaner and healthier stream, ECICOG stepped up to help guide the process. From providing mapping to managing meetings and writing the plan, Environmental Services Director, Jennifer Fencl was able to ensure impactful and realistic goals were created and met throughout the process. 
The time and dedication provided by ECICOG got this project off the ground. We're grateful for the work of Jen and the staff to organize meetings, compile information, and for writing the plan! -City of Marion
