IPCE presents “Introduction to Community Engagement: Values and Key Principles” for New York State Attorney General Office
Dr. Joe Hoereth and Norma Ramos, the Director and Associate Director of the University of Illinois Chicago's Institute for Policy and Civic Engagement (IPCE), presented their guiding principles and methodologies for community partnership for the State of New York General Attorney’s “Social Justice Training Series”.
On January 23, 2024, Dr. Joe Hoereth and Norma Ramos, the Director and Associate Director of the University of Illinois Chicago's Institute for Policy and Civic Engagement (IPCE), respectively, presented their guiding principles and methodologies for community partnership based on their 15 years of first-hand experience at IPCE. Recently in 2018, Joe and Norma partnered with the Illinois Attorney General’s Office to convene members of the Chicago community and gather their comments on the Chicago Police Consent Decree. They compiled and synthesized these public comments into a report that was presented to the Illinois Attorney General. A year later, they joined the Community Engagement Team for the Independent Monitoring Team for the Chicago Police Department Consent Decree and have been instrumental in engaging Chicago’s communities and ensuring their participation throughout the monitoring process.
Thank you to the State of New York General Attorney for inviting IPCE to share our principles and methodologies for community partnership!
