Experience | PUBLIC CONSULTATION AND PARTICIPATION 1
Our experience Public consultation and participation
Dialogue powered by a handshake At NATIONAL we believe that
effective communication with the public begins and ends with a
handshake; a handshake that demonstrates mutual respect and a
willingness to engage in dialogue. Our public consultation and
participation services are based on the foundations of the
International Association of Public Participation (IAP2) and years
of experience working in collaboration with project developers,
regulators and communities.
