Clergy and congregations are often untapped resources. They can help local officials provide important information to residents, promote broader public engagement, support public safety, and other city programs.

• Donald E. Bradley, City Manager, City of Cathedral City
• Rabbi Jay Miller, Peninsula Clergy Network
