All 15 Citizen Participation Needs Assessment Worksheets (17 pages),

And the PAIs/Issues Matrix
(a job-aid to identify all the Potentially Affected Interests are on a specific project)

NOTE: Both of these are to be used by returning students of ours, so they won’t make as much sense if you have not yet gone through our basic SDIC training.

CP Needs Assessments Worksheets

These 17 pages are sized to be printed on 11” x 17” paper, and are in .PDF and Excel or Word formats.  If you don’t already have Adobe’s Acrobat Reader, download it for free.

It is sized to be printed on 11” x 17” paper, and is available in both .PDF and Word formats
