What People Say About Us
“Great job you two! Thank you for taking the hard calls and keeping the public and us informed.”
“I have had the pleasure of utilizing the public involvement services provided by Lisa Beck and Michael Beck on a road reconstruction project lined with homes on both sides. The work of Lisa and Michael proved invaluable to the City, minimizing the amount of time required by City Staff to deal with problems and complaints that invariably come with a project like this. Many residents commented to me about how much they appreciated their interaction with these two individuals. I hope to be able to work with Lisa and Michael in the future.”
Thank you Mike & Lisa for all your help on this project, you were a key role and handled everything very professionally!
Harmony Public Involvement (HPI) was a dream to work with during our four-month runway closure project at the St. George Regional Airport. Lisa and her team worked closely with the City and the Airport to set up special social media information outlets to educate and inform the public in an entertaining and non-confrontational way about a project that was very unpopular and potentially a PR nightmare. HPI attended weekly safety and coordination meetings during the project to ensure that they were current with the latest construction updates and safety issues. At the end of the project, HPI coordinated an open house for the public that was instrumental in turning the public’s feelings about the project from negative to an overall positive experience. HPI will be a partner again in our future projects.
