Consensus gives citizens a voice in public policy decisions that affect their lives. We do this by providing a neutral space, solid information and processes that lead groups to find common ground for action.

Consensus is a vital element in our community. Its citizen-based studies and forums create change by finding new ways of thinking about old issues and by helping to create the political will to get things done. From its start in 1984, Consensus has worked to create regional leaders and regional solutions to our shared challenges.

Consensus also offers its expertise in process, policy and communications to clients. Consensus works with leaders who need to know what their constituents are thinking. Our work provides useful information, builds agreement and leaves a positive impression.
