While I agree that limited resources and staffing can be a challenge, it’s very helpful to sustain creative engagement by collaborating with other local advocacy and stakeholder groups, both research-oriented and otherwise, in the planning and executing of engagement activities or events. This way, you are further engaging with communities and networking to develop/strengthen the stakeholder base, not only in the communities you reach through the activity/event, but also in the planning processes — and you have the added resources and staff power of these other organizations and individuals in combination with your own! Many hands make light work. 🙂
