 The Hennepin-University Partnership hosted a half-day forum around what it means to effectively engage communities from the viewpoint of governments/universities, specifically Hennepin County and the University of Minnesota. This forum was meant to stimulate discussion on the following questions:

 - What does community engagement mean to our organizations?

-  What do we expect/need to accomplish by engaging communities?

-  How do we know if we're effective?
