The Public Utilities Commission of the State of New Mexico sponsored a one-day conference on sustainable energy. The PDC had the role of pre- and post-event polling where we solicited information from participants about their perspectives on deregulation issues and their interest in participating in other dialogue events in the future. This information was used to shape the one-day conference and follow-up events.

The PDC designed and facilitated a series of meetings to involve the public in thinking about ways in which the quality of life in the city could be improved and to make recommendations to the City Council. We began work using an innovative design featuring two public meetings and hundreds of resident-conducted interviews. The Mayor reported on this work at press conference, marking the mid-point of the project. The PDC continued to work with residents and City staff to implement the action plans that were developed.
