Citizen Journey

The Granicus Platform Provides a Seamless Experience for Civic Engagement
In Fort Worth, Texas, volunteers are in high demand - especially at an annual event called the “Cowtown Great American Cleanup,” which is a large annual litter cleanup and beautification event.
Government organizations can capitalize on the opportunity to engage their citizens more effectively by using the Granicus Civic Engagement Platform to provide relevant information to interested citizens, and effectively engage them throughout the entire civic engagement process. No other solution has the ability to seamlessly connect web, email, video and meeting software for an enhanced citizen journey.
