Workshops
There were six different workshops offered at the roundtable. Workshop descriptions can be found by clicking on Workshops at the top of this web page. Workshop highlights included partnering with and instituting neighborhood programs to address safety, increasing inclusiveness in neighborhoods, discussing leading neighborhood indicators to measure changes, and brainstorming on how to work collectively to involve residents to take action for improving safety.
Some of the workshop presenters have submitted their handouts for inclusion on this webpage. You may access these handouts using the links below.

Roundtable Evaluation
Twenty roundtable participants completed and submitted their evaluation forms. All are active members of neighborhood associations and half have been involved for more than 5 years. More than half have attended previous City of Madison neighborhood conferences or roundtables.
There were a wide variety of reasons provided for why participants attended the roundtable. Most indicated that they were there to learn skills to improve their neighborhood association and to network with other neighborhood leaders. Some were there to provide input to City officials and staff on problems of crime safety.
Of those who turned in their evaluations, most found the Mayor's opening remarks, the workshops and the overall roundtable to be either useful or very useful from the rating scale of not useful; somewhat useful, useful; and very useful.
