[MassHistPres] Certified Local Government Workshop

[Chris Skelly]

Ben, there are no plans yet but it sounds like there is interest in a
western Mass meeting.  I have heard from other interested communities in
western MA as well.  We would be happy to hold another workshop in the
Springfield area.  Chris.

Is there any plans to hold a Certified Local Government workshop in
Western Mass? My understanding is there are no CLGs west of Worcester. I
think there is a real need to have a workshop in a location that is more
accessible to Western Massachusetts communities.
