New EVEF Advisory Board creates connections, provides direction for expansion and funding
The new Every Voice Engaged product advisory group met for the first time in late July to hear about platform updates, share feedback, and suggest funding ideas and opportunities.
The advisory board is made up of a selective group of Political Science, Communication Studies, Philosophy, and Religion scholars as well as experts in civic media and design, large scale deliberative democracy practice, public issues facilitation, and smart cities. The expertise of this group will be essential in moving the EVE product forward.
“Everyone was impressed with about the high-fidelity prototypes of new EVE features. Even those in the group with less direct experience using EVE were excited about the possibility of new uses and applications of the product,” said Kara Dillard, network engagement and grants manager for EVEF. “It’s a great feeling to share all our hard work with experts and have them respond so positively.”
