“Bottom-up social engagement governance.”

I’m listening of Mayor Glenn Taylor from Hinton, AB and Ken Chapman.  This discussion is fascinating and they’re telling us the story of about the Grande Alberta Economic Region will be a new site on Feb 8th.  Thanks for the clarification from Twitter pal Kai So or @RuralAlbertan and Town of Hinton.

I’m writing this post feverishly about a statement that Glenn mentioned.  We’re not taking the top down approach, but “bottom-up social engagement governance.”  Glenn was referring to how they’re getting the word out and the consultative process involved using social media.  This is a REALLY COOL!!! This is the kind of grass roots movement that you need to pay attention to and participate in.  I’m going to update this post later and include links because I’ve got to grab the mic from Ken and Glenn, this chat should have been last and we could have spent hours listening, at least I could have.
