						Facilitation/Public Involvement JW Associates has designed, organized, and facilitated more than 75 public and collaborative group meetings. We have experience on more than 25 projects with all aspects of public involvement, including; scoping, content analysis, issue development, and comment analysis and responses. We have handled large public involvement programs where issues were developed from public meetings and other input, the issues were addressed in a management plan, and then the plan was reviewed and commented on through facilitation of additional public meetings.
