Local Government Events

The meeting will be held in the Board Room / Municipal Room on the first floor of Parkville City Hall.

During the meeting, Emily Randle, ERJ Consulting will lead a panel discussion on Incorporating an “Age Lens” into Your Work with Consultant Teams. As most communities use consulting firms to develop their planning and visioning documents, this interactive discussion will explore how the city-consultant relationship can work to ensure aging is meaningfully incorporated into this process. It will highlight best practices, challenges, and showcase local examples.
