About AIM Consulting

Engagement that respects every voice in the room.

Those of us who work at AIM Consulting believe in the power of community. Whether we are working with small or large communities, in person or through virtual engagement, our team provides the tools and creates the space to come together constructively and collaboratively to make a positive difference.

AIM is a woman-owned small business serving public agencies and private clients throughout Northern California — designing participation that is inclusive, transparent, and built for results.

Inclusive by design

Every voice gets a seat at the table — and the tools to be heard.

Hybrid & virtual fluent

From open houses to stakeholder meetings — wherever your community gathers.

Strategy first

Plans grounded in goals, audiences, and measurable outcomes.

Trusted partner

SBE-, ESB- and UDBE-certified — credentialed for public-sector work.

What we do

Engagement programs built around your community.

From neighborhood meetings to statewide stakeholder convenings, we tailor every program to the people in the room — and the people who can't make it.

01 / Community

Community-Wide Engagement

Inclusive participation programs that bring residents, businesses, and decision-makers into the same conversation — from corridor studies to city-wide visioning.

02 / Youth

Youth Engagement

Activities that make young people partners in shaping their schools, neighborhoods, and general plans — not just informed about them.

03 / Stakeholders

Virtual Stakeholder Meetings

Facilitated, agenda-driven sessions that move technical advisory groups, agency partners, and elected officials toward consensus — at distance.

04 / Open House

Virtual Open House

Self-guided digital experiences that meet residents where they are — replicating the boards, materials, and conversations of an in-person event.

05 / Virtual

Virtual Engagement

End-to-end strategies that combine surveys, live sessions, social outreach, and digital storytelling to engage hard-to-reach audiences.

06 / Experiential

Experiential Events

Pop-ups, walking tours, and interactive activations that turn engagement into something residents want to be part of — not something they have to attend.

How we work

A repeatable approach, custom-fit to every community.

Engagement isn't a checkbox. We start by listening, plan with intention, and report back with what we heard — every step transparent.

Listen

Understand the project, the politics, and the people who'll be affected — long before we design a single touchpoint.

Plan

Build a program with clear objectives, audiences, channels, and metrics — aligned to your timeline and budget.

Engage

Convene communities through the right blend of in-person, virtual, and experiential touchpoints.

Report

Synthesize what we heard into actionable findings — and close the loop with the people who participated.
