NJ FRAMES: Home Project Area Community Engagement Project Documents Community Engagement A robust stakeholder and public engagement process will be employed throughout the project. Stakeholders include elected officials, residents, community organizations, technical experts, local businesses, and environmental groups from the region. Stakeholder and public engagement will lay the foundation for identifying community assets and “ground truthing” appropriate actions. The Community Engagement Framework below demonstrates this process, along with announcements for upcoming public events.   Volunteer for the Constituency Advisory Group! The Project Steering Committee (i.e. the deliberative body for reaching decisions regarding the NJ FRAMES Project) wishes to include the diverse perspectives of non-governmental stakeholders in their deliberations. As such, the Project Team is soliciting individuals to participate in the Constituency Advisory Group (CAG) as Members or Subcommittee Chairpersons. To volunteer, please email njframes@dep.nj.gov indicating your interest. Please share your name, affiliated organization, and the best way to get in touch with you.
