Determine ways to better inform the public on the scope of the hearings so their comment can have more impact

# data[].attributes.body
Use events as opportunity to train people

# data[].attributes.body
bringing more staff! Plan for more staff, think of new staff, staff who may not be involved in regs development but could learn

# data[].attributes.body
Use plain language in powerpoint

# data[].attributes.body
Plan for people arriving early, plan for space to accommodate early arrivals

We got through hearing from a surprising number of people at the Shafter, but considering how to handle lots of participation in future high-profile hearings

# data[].attributes.body
Liked the Natalie mic hold in Shafter and thought it really helped be clear how long people had and would do again

Immense need for intersectional work. These issues aren't just about pesticides and ag. It's also labor, education and development.

Also- more people need to know where their food comes from, how it gets to them and who gets it to them.

I felt a little sad/powerless. The problems are deep and complex. I just want people to have happier, healthier lives.

good to have a diverse group of people at the hearing

Don't use a PowerPoint timer. It has the potential to crash when it is open for a long time. Windows one works great.

Great to see everyone come together and work collaboratively outside of the office. Hoping to see chihuahua slides as the new standard for preparation meetings.

# data[].attributes.body
consider other outreach events to teach the public about what we do including how to report a pesticide incident and DPR role in enforcing pesticide laws

# data[].attributes.body
Have already had other DPR folks reaching out for incite to inform their hearings

# data[].attributes.body
More DPR staff across the department from different programs and branches - trained, prepared, know what to expect - that can come together to help with public participation and future events.

teamwork was great, like how you assigned roles at hearing

# data[].attributes.body
Engaging the community, making ourselves accessible, providing multiple ways to submit comments.

# data[].attributes.body
Potential to see ENF friends in-person ;)

# data[].attributes.body
great teamwork helped create a positive environment for all.

# data[].attributes.body
Having a panel not just one person taking comments.

# data[].attributes.body
at least for the Turlock hearing, a more definitive way to end the hearing was

needed

# data[].attributes.body
Thinking about the heat, audio, restroom considerations for the venue (Shafter)

# data[].attributes.body
presentation and ground rules very helpful for all

# data[].attributes.body
Preparation Meetings.

# data[].attributes.body
Didn't like the gym space (Shafter) - hard to hear, very loud, tough to maintain a space with minimal distractions.

# data[].attributes.body
predefined roles made the hearings smoother

# data[].attributes.body
venue considerations

# data[].attributes.body
Great hearing event. Everyone worked as team.

# data[].attributes.body
Liked the teamwork a lot - everyone came together to help and solve problems. Liked the huddle and teamwork.

# data[].attributes.body
Teamwork was at its best

# data[].attributes.body
It was helpful to have so many staff present, both to help in each role, for clean-up and take down, and also to meet folks
