Economic Blueprint Community Inclusion

TREO's Economic Blueprint is hinged on reaching out to the community. By the end of the Blueprint project, TREO involved nearly 6,000 people/organizations, representing the broadest possible range of community interests -- public, private, and non-profit.

In addition, TREO's Blueprint Steering Committee was made up of a broad cross-section of public, private and community leaders who represented the voices of more than 51,000 employees in the Tucson region.

From the start, TREO recognized that the successful implementation of the Blueprint hinged on cohesion and commitment from important stakeholders. In order to achieve this, TREO leadership designed an inclusive process for the community - one where individuals who want to have a voice in the development of the Economic Blueprint have an opportunity to do so.

We are tracking our outreach and inclusion efforts to be sure that we are reaching as many segments of the community as possible. In addition to the Blueprint Steering Committee, interviews, focus groups, one-on-one meetings, SWOT Analysis survey, and presentations to local groups and organizations, TREO has also published a Community Survey (in both English and Spanish) to encourage an even broader range of local citizens to voice their opinions. The survey was promoted in the Arizona Daily Star, Tucson Citizen, and translated into Spanish for the Star's La Estrella tabloid.

At the end of the Blueprint process, an inclusive list of stakeholders will have been included. Please click on the download below for a chart of community participants in the Economic Blueprint research process.
