Goverment transparency and engaging citizens

It
is interesting to see how Government bodies in the
US
and

UK

are approaching ‘transparency’ and ‘citizen engagement’.



 

In

Nevada

the Governor has
added podcasting as part of the communication reach. As he says in his press releases…



 

As
part of his transparency in government initiative, Governor Jim Gibbons has added
podcasts and video messages to the State of Nevada website (WWW.NV.GOV)  
Governor Gibbons has also added a new email address for citizens to offer ideas and
comments as we move through the legislative session and deal with many difficult economic
and budget issues. 

 

The
new email address is YOUROPINIONCOUNTS@GOV.NV.GOV



 

“I
plan to share messages and viewpoints about important and timely topics of interest
to everyone in
Nevada
,” Gibbons said, “Many Nevadans are not able to travel to

Carson City

to hear directly from state leaders, so I am working to make my office easier to access
and to ensure that Nevadans can hear directly from their Governor.”

 

I am sure
a lot of CEOs and Corporate leaders could learn a lot about how politicians are engaging
with their customers.
