Strategies for Boosting Accountability & Transparency in Local Government (Zoom meeting)

Jackson Paller, Community Lawyer for the Citizen Advocacy Center will be presenting to us on this important topic via Zoom.

Registration for this Zoom event is required. REGISTER HERE.

We’ll learn strategies to:

• Ensure our voices are heard;
• Organize for community change;
• Help keep our elected local officials accountable;
• Advocate for more transparent and timely communication from the Village about matters they are considering and voting on;  
• Push for improving how Village Commissions operate and for more diversity in appointed Commissioners;
• Address nepotism in local government;
• Learn about laws related to the operations of local governments and their official meetings.

There will time in the meeting to bring up specific concerns and Q&A.

We hope you’ll join us for this important meeting that we hope will lead to future discussions and planning.
