We work to provide a way for the public to engage in a meaningful and effective manner with their governments about issues that are important to this region. We believe that our volunteers bring diverse and well reasoned opinons and analysis to their review of ballot issues and public policy.

Our volunteers monitor the actions and decisions of our government that impact our region. Our committees do the challenging work of digging in to the details of the public issues and policy to ensure that our positions are backed by solid research and analysis.

Ultimately we use the research and analysis of our volunteer committees to make recommendations and hold our government accountable. We provide ongoing oversight to ensure that our government continues to improve and better serves all of its citizens..
