You must be on a slow elevator (what is called a "lift" in the UK).
The elevator pitch originated with venture capitalists, that is, an
entrepreneur had the time it took for the v.c. to reach her/his floor
to "pitch" their concept.

So, here's a 30 second pitch:

Good governance rests on the willingness of those to be governed.
Consent of the governed depends on participation.  What better way to
participate than getting everyone in one room, because they want to
be there.  Moreover, it also allows you to tap into the collective
wisdom of the people you have been so clever to invite, as well as
leading to commitment and ownership.

Good luck!

Cheers
