What we're working on
At its core, it's an association for vendors and developers of citizen engagement software - you know, the people that are enabling change!
Surrounding that is a growing community of individuals and organizations that are passionate about citizen engagement.

We need your participation because it's going to take all of us to create a better system.
We need your buy-in because standards are not standards until they're adopted.
Participation
Buy-in
Input
