The MMA will host a webinar on June 10 to help municipal leaders navigate the important next steps following a successful Proposition 2½ override vote.
“Cultivating Transparency After a Yes Vote” is the second half of a webinar series to help communities deal with the aftermath of override votes and plan next steps and communicate fiscal decisions clearly. (The first session in the webinar series offered guidance for municipalities navigating tight budgets when an override isn’t an option.)
The June 10 webinar panelists will discuss how municipalities can keep stakeholders informed, clearly explain budget decisions, and identify the specific local programs supported by the new funding. The webinar will also explore best practices for managing staff and resident expectations.
Speakers will include Melrose Mayor Jen Grigoraitis and Arlington Deputy Town Manager and Finance Director Julie Wayman.
Registration is now available for the 75-minute webinar. Only MMA members may register. MMA members include elected officials and municipal employees from MMA member communities across the state. Media members are not permitted to attend.
