| A successful community relations program will be a dialogue rather than a one-way conversation that will draw stakeholders and interested parties into a project-specific decision-making process in order to develop a shared solution. The purpose of a community relations campaign is to inform project stakeholders; develop an understanding of stakeholder views, concerns, and values; improve transparency and accountability and represent the public interest in decision-making; increase public confidence and build trust; and therefore reduce potential conflict.
