Stakeholder consultation should not be an afterthought, but a key element of developing policy within a public system. I would ensure that process allowed for meaningful and iterative consultation over sufficiently extended time periods to ensure that people are heard and understood. I would advocate for more accessible Board meetings through scheduling and technology. I would ensure that community members had opportunities to be heard inside and outside of Board meetings.
