- X-topic: Outreach
The International Association for Public Participation (IAP2)leadership and 1100 worldwide members developed a set of core values for public participation. They were adopted by EPA's environmental justice advisory group. We believe these should guide and inspire better decisions, decision-making, and involvement:
1. The public shouild have a say in decisions about actions that affect their lives.
2. Public participation includes the promise that the public's contribution will influence the decision.
3. The public participation process communicates the interests and meets the process needs of all participants.
4. The public participation process actively seeks out and facilitates the involvement of those potentially affected.
5. The public participation process involves participants in defining how they participate.
6. The public participation process provides participants with the information they need to participate in a meaningful way.
7. The public participation process communicates to participants how their input affected the decision.
