It all starts here at Open Government Initiative. This is the high level driver (statements).
But the initiative will only gain traction and become "real" with grass roots support through the running of Local Open Government Innovation Summits.
Local Open Government Innovation Summit
This site has been set up to encourage local government to get involved in the "Open Government Initiative".
Go to Local Open Government Innovation Summit
This initiative has been set up and is being rolled out by local government enthusiasts in the USA.
This is a global initiative involving any local government organisation that would like to be involved.
The goals of this initiative are to;
- Educate council employees on the benefits of "open government".
- Educate local communities on the benefits of "open government".
- Create a dialogue between government and their local constituents.
- Promote the concept of "open government " and its benefits.
- Generally get people in the community involved in meaningful discussions with their local government representatives.
Let's have fun while we produce meaningful outcomes.
The process is simple but we all need to pull together to make it work and to achieve positive outcomes;
- Local government understands what their communities want.
- Communities understand what can and cannot be done.
- Councils listen to their communities and deliver worthwhile outcomes.
- Communities realise their true potential and a superior life style
- Communities realise their responsibilities and join in accordingly.
We hope you enjoy this site and its content as much as we enjoy bringing it to you.
Join in, sign up and get involved. Your input, contribution and wisdom will be appreciated and ultimately return value to you (and the community in which we live).
