### RECORDED WEBINAR

# Strengthening IIJA Grants Through Greater Representation and Inclusion

### Duration: 1 Hour

## *This webinar took place on Tuesday, April 26, 2022*

Local jurisdictions that understand the opportunities and prioritization criteria created by the [Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act](https://publicinput.com/wp/iija-physical-civic-connections/) are better positioned to receive funding. 

**But how exactly does a community successfully collect the data needed to quantify these required measurements?**

In this webinar, we heard from policy experts and engagement specialists who shared how using “equity mapping” of your community’s residents can help identify required information that will aid you in preparing your proposals and justifying grant amounts.

During this session, our experts covered: 

- How to identify and measure social and economic data through equity mapping to create strong projects and grant proposals.
- How to improve civic outreach practices to achieve greater representation and inclusion in all areas of public participation.
