March 2026 | Community Engagement Masterclass, House Party Edition

You know what made a house party work? Word of mouth. Somebody told somebody who told somebody else, and by 10 pm the living room was packed with people who didn’t all know each other—but they knew someone who got them through the door.

That’s how real community engagement works too. It’s not mass emails and flyers. It’s relationships. Trust networks. The person who vouches for you before you ever show up. This month, we’re spotlighting the folks who know how to fill a room—SCE’s Consumer Advisory Panel, Rising Sun’s program model, Reverend Frank Jackson’s faith-based networks, and Courtney Henderson’s consumer advocacy perspective. The people who’ve built the kind of trust that gets others through the door.

The playlist? House party jams across generations. 🎉🏠🎧
