Focusing on building relationships and sharing information with neighborhood leadership, other residents and local partnerships by having a member of the Community Engagement Team attend the neighborhood association and neighborhood alliance meetings of organizations who have chosen to register with our office. Neighborhood meeting attendance objectives include: providing education and current collateral about vital city services, new city initiatives and seasonal focuses (e.g. Recycling, Storm Water, Egrets, West Nile Virus); community outreach, engagement and leadership workshops and personalized training (e.g. Community Outreach & Volunteer Recruitment, Building Trust - Building Relationships, Conflict Resolution Skills, New Officer Training) provided by the Community Engagement team.

Although we do attend meetings facilitated by associations (when invited to do so) who are not yet registered with our office, we do not have the ability to calculate how many formally-organized groups exist within the City of Fort Worth unless they have chosen to register to with our office. When an organization chooses to register, we are given current leadership contact information that enables us to reach out and request that we be invited to attend an upcoming meeting at least once per 12 month period. If groups are not registered, we do not have accurate contact information to provide effective customer service and outreach.

All information about neighborhood and alliance meetings that have been attended are entered into the  Inventory Database by the team member who attends the meeting. The database is currently located at:  cfwnet.org/Neighborhood. All meeting information is also documented on  each team member's Community Engagement Outreach Report. This information can be accessed at:\\fs100\crd\NED\Staff Folders\2015 Community Outreach Summary Reports. (All of the above data will be transferred to a new Access database beginnin January 2016). Reports can  be run by Council District, Meeting Date, Date of Submission, Neighborhood Name, Community Engagement Liaison or by Topics mentioned on an as needed basis. 

Actual = (# of registered neighborhood associations who held at least 1 meeting that was attended by Community Engagement team / Number of registered neighborhood associations)*100
