Te mission o the Center is to
support sustainable deliberative
democracy in Hampton Roads and
to connect public decision making
with civil dialogue and the inormed
judgment o the regions citizens.
... at the
beginning o the
twenty-frst century,
citizens seem better at
governing, and worse
at being governed, than
ever beore ... .On the other
side o this divide, local
leaders are becoming
tired o conrontation
and desperate or
resources.

Form of Democracy

The future vitality of the entire
Hampton Roads region requires not
only careful planning on the part
of public agencies, but also more considered,
knowledgeable and balanced engagement on the
part of the regions citizens.The Hampton Roads Center for Civic
Engagement provides decision-makers, interest
groups and citizens with reliable, state-of-the-art
methods for involving citizens in problem solving
and planning.
The Center is a neutral source of information
to support fact-based dialogue on the thorniest
of regional issues. It structures and facilitates
civic engagement processes that provide for the
productive collaboration between the citizens and
their governments.
By encouraging the inclusion of more citizens
in the public choices related to their regions quality
of life and future, the Centers work enhances the
accountability and transparency of public agencies.
The Centers work helps reduce parochial
thinking and geographic polarization, boost regional
understanding and bring into the public dialogue,
voices that have long been overlooked.
...ocquevilles conclusion (was)
that a vibrant, ace-to-ace local
democratic practice was essential
to keeping alive the civic virtues
without which democracy itsel
cannot survive.Daniel Kemmis, Beyond National Democracy
