Town Of Edgartown: Navigating Hybrid Engagement

Press release from the Town of Edgartown:

08/03/2021 9:57 AM

As the world continues to adapt in the continued wake of a global pandemic, we are emerging into an era of flexible meeting experiences.  Many municipalities and community engagement practitioners are exploring the possibility of hybrid meetings, offering online and in-person public participation.

Join the MAPC for a workshop series focused on shared practices and tools for hosting a successful meeting that bridges remote and in person participation. We will explore meeting facilitation and design, technology needs, and current state law and policy debates that will have an impact on municipal meeting policies moving forward.

The series will consist of four sessions, beginning with "Emerging Practices and Challenges", which will kick-off the four-part series.  We'll hear from our municipal colleagues on what is working, as well as the challenges they are facing when conducting hybrid meetings.  This "working" workshop will highlight what hybrid meetings might look like and what folks should prepare for as we head into the Fall.
