The AoE Town Hall Model: Experiences from the Food Safety AoE Team

The Food Safety AoE has developed a model for engaging lay audiences to discuss important topics related to food safety with experts in the field. This model involves empowering the audience to generate questions and play a large part in developing the agenda for the discussion. Such an approach offers audiences a larger stake in the direction of responses and issues discussed by experts, and such a model could be used by other AoEs. Resource persons: Toby Ten Eyck and Cindy Warren.
