NLC-RISC convened a Civility & Collaboration Working Group (CCG) in January 2025. We seek to support member pools and their member cities in adopting practices that reduce stress on their organizations, promote common solutions for their communities’ needs, and reduce the risk of lawsuits and financial losses (from absenteeism, decreased productivity, and increased turnover).
Activities: Our group plans to share resources and experiences with all pools (through our sponsor, NLC RISC) and gather data about perspectives and needs for civility resources from members.
Shared Values:
- Omni partiality – we include all perspectives
- Collaboration – we work together to achieve our goals
- Civility – we demonstrate respectful and courteous behavior
- Service – we support the NLC RISC community
