12.3: Expand the Thrive305 Ambassador program to increase community engagement across all County departments

Issue Statement and Context

There is value in a workforce that communicates and collaborates across silos and disciplines. Thrive305 Ambassadors have bridged barriers across County departments to support the ambitious goals of the Thrive305 process. In doing so, they have set themselves up as leaders who have forged relationships and created lines of communication throughout the County that need to be maintained to bring County staff closer together.

Detailed Action Summary

The County will support and elevate Thrive305 Ambassadors (Ambassadors) to continue embedding civic engagement and centering the value of community voice in all County departments.

- Create opportunities for County employees to participate in other civic engagement initiatives on behalf of their departments or the County at large.
- Develop specific opportunities for Ambassadors to share progress on the actions within the Thrive305 Action Plan and to develop opportunities for continued learning from residents on the implementation of those ideas.
- Work with current Thrive305 Ambassadors in developing training workshops within their departments to share the Thrive305 methodologies and engagement principles with colleagues, and to grow the pool of Thrive305 Ambassadors.
