[MassHistPres] Public Education/Outreach Examples

[Burks, Sarah]

Hi Chris,

Because of our form of city government, we interact more closely with the City Manager's office.  There are annual budget hearings with the City Council and if they have questions for a department, the department heads get called upon and have to answer those questions.  The city also publishes an annual report and each department, including the Historical Commission, writes a report of accomplishments and future goals.

Due to strong interest in recent Harvard Square cases, Charlie offered to provide a tour to any interested councilors.  A couple took him up on it and were very appreciative of the information. Though this isn't a regular occurrence (unless new councilors ask for it) it might be something to add to the suggestion list.  To tour local districts with town officials.

Sarah

Does your local commission make a point to meet with the Select Board/City Council on an annual basis to present what you accomplished in the previous year and discuss goals for the coming year?

While I know some local commissions do this, I don't have specific names of commissions.   Some specific communities would be great to include in this public education/outreach workshop.  Chris.

Good Morning,

For a workshop next Wednesday at the Central Massachusetts Regional Planning Commission, I will be discussing public education and outreach efforts for historic preservation and including some local examples from around the state. I already have a few examples lined up but could use a few more in my presentation.

If your commission has a successful public education or outreach effort, please let me know.

If you are interested in the workshop next week, here is the announcement.
