The Deliberative Democracy Consortium is an alliance of the major organizations and leading scholars in the field of democracy and public engagement. The consortium represents more than 50 foundations, nonprofits and universities collaborating to advance democratic practices.
Leighninger is one of the leading experts in the field of deliberative democracy, a new wave of efforts to engage citizens in policy discussion and decision-making traditionally left to elected officials and experts. Leighninger’s keynote address, “The Next Form of Democracy: Public Participation for the 21st Century,” will include examples of how other communities are using deliberative democracy and the potential for the movement to transform how citizens engage in democracy in the U.S.
