  1. Citizen Advisory Board, Savannah River Site - SRS (United States)

The objective of this paper is to interview public participants who attended both full-board and committee meetings for a pre-determined two-month period to understand their motivation in attending Savannah River Site Citizens Advisory Board (SRS CAB) meetings. In addition, the research aimed to learn what impact they believe their attendance had on Savannah River Site Citizens Advisory Board (SRS CAB) recommendations and discussion, as well as how their input is utilized by the Savannah River Site. Perhaps in learning these community members attend meetings, the CAB can capitalize on that knowledge to motivate additional public participation. Research for this report includes a literature review of public participation and analysis of interviews and surveys conducted with members of the general public in October and November 2015.
