Hello everyone… Our friends at the Participatory Budgeting Project (I am thinking particularly about Shari Davis) are having an "Innovations in Participatory Democracy Conference” in Phoenix in March. I offered to let our community know about it. Details are located here:

If anyone has interest in meeting Shari, I feel pretty confident she’d be happy to come to OpenOakland or be in touch with you directly. Let me know, I’ll gladly do an introduction. Neil
