Public involvement will become increasingly an integral part of the Service's activities a part of our way of doing business. Nearly everyone in the organization will share in that responsibility. Knowledge and skills in the techniques needed to interact effectively with the numerous publics will be essential to many positions having program responsibility. All personnel involved in decision-making processes leading to significant actions will be provided information and training in the basic principles and skills of public involvement, including interpersonal communication, conducting meetings and workshops, and public involvement strategy and policy development. This Public Involvement Manual has been prepared to serve those needs. It includes major sections dealing with the general principles of public involvement, structuring public involvement programs, and public involvement techniques. The manual contains a wealth of information on assessing the need for and formulating and carrying out public involvement; not as a separate activity, but as an integral part of our program.
