Google Groups for City Communications & RNOs

[Bryan Wilson]

Just a thought...
What if someone with the City of Denver created Google Groups to align with the Neighborhood Planning Initiative?
Those Google Groups could then be added to the RNO Contact list allowing anyone to email them.

There could be one "City-wide" group when the content applies to all Denverites. When it is local, then it is sent to the respective Neighborhood Planning Area.

These will look similar to the group I created for Congress Park for ALL.

I think it is just a piece of the puzzle for helping information get relayed from the City Agencies to the general public, since many RNOs don't seem to share beyond their membership.
I suggested making a crowd-sourced option on Reddit.

Happy to walk someone through what I've learned to prevent spam & permit messages from approved senders right away. Other RNOs can do this as well & I'm happy to share my set-up with you to help you get started.

Here is a sample I created for ALL of the City of Denver.

Feel free to join to see what you think.

Cheers,
