Dear Rob,
At the most recent meeting of the Ethics Commission, on July 5th, there was considerable
discussion of the missed opportunity for Commission members to attend the June 29th
presentation on Principies of Engagement. Members felt this was a presentation that would
have been of value to our work as well as an expression of a greater town-wide commitment to
community engagement. No one from the Commission was able to attend because of the
limited, short advance notice of the event, although several members indicated they could have
done so if given a reasonable notice.
Members asked that | contact you with several thoughts.
First, if at all possible, we would appreciate information if the session is available on-line or was
recorded so we could catch up. Wiil there be a follow-up opportunity? If so, please advise so
we can be sure to attend.
Second, better notification and a longer lead time would be very much appreciated. Apparently
this was “publicized” via Facebook, and some of us do not have Facebook accounts and were
unaware. Facebook is not a reliable community-wide tool for notifications of Town business. A
flier was eventually forwarded to me by a Commission member and | was able to distribute it to
the others, but only at the last minute. A direct-to-members email notification would have been
helpful, especially if sent early in the month.
| understand this event was the result of a grant from the Community Foundation awarded fast
year as part of their effort to promote greater community-wide communications and discussion,
worthy and necessary goals for local governments. Hopefully there will be future opportunities
for the Commission to participate.
Thank you for your attention.
