Yes

None
A brief description of the governance and public engagement assessment(s):
The IU Public Policy Institute (http://policyinstitute.iu.edu/) released a large publication of what it takes to make a thriving Indiana entitled "Thriving Communities, Thriving State." Thriving Communities, Thriving State, produced community-based recommendations that require policy decisions at the local, regional, and state levels. In other words, it’s not only what Indiana can do for its communities, but also what communities can do for themselves and the state. All three commissions prioritized: • Education/workforce preparation • Leadership and engagement • Quality of life and quality of place In addition to these overlapping goals, the commissions each identified other areas including government innovation/local control, entrepreneurship, and acceptance of diversity.
