An engaging CivEx webinar examined the findings of the Civic Language Perceptions Project, An Arizona Snapshot. The study explored how Arizonans perceive and connect with civic language compared to national trends.
Discover why Arizonans may feel a stronger connection to civic language than their peers nationally and explore strategies to use shared vocabulary to foster engagement and build bridges within communities. This important study sheds light on the ways different communities perceive terms like “civic engagement” and “civic participation,” revealing valuable insights that can strengthen outreach, inclusion, and collaboration across the state.
The webinar was moderated by 2011 Flinn-Brown Fellow David Martinez III, director of strategic community partnerships at Vitalyst Health Foundation, with panelists Kristi Tate, director of civic health initiatives, Center for the Future of Arizona; Siri Erickson, program support lead, Philanthropy for Active Civic Engagement; 2013 Flinn-Brown Fellow Teniqua Broughton, chief executive officer, State of Black Arizona; and Scott Koenig, executive director, Arizona Center for Rural Leadership.
