Participate Local

A program to focus on open government to get people to attend meetings and write them up or live tweet them.

Training:

• Why this needs to be done
  • What local government meetings are available
  • What gets decided at them
• Meeting Details:
  • How to find when/where they are (time and place)
  • How to find the agenda and past minutes
• What to do
  • How to speak and present yourself so you are listened too, if you want to
  • Guidelines for recording public meetings, though they are often recorded and put up at community cable. Easier on-line.
  • Where to put your notes
