I have seen the unofficial copy of Wednesdays BOE agenda and - TopicsExpress



          

I have seen the unofficial copy of Wednesdays BOE agenda and public comment is listed twice, once in the beginning and again near the end. I am sure there will be A LOT of people that want to speak and it is going to be a long night. I offer the following suggestions NOT as a BOE member, but as a person who has been through numerous communication courses (and still gets nervous when speaking). Write down what you want to say. Remember you have to start with your name & address but how many people have we seen stand at that podium and forget? Stick to key points. You want to be heard before time runs out but most importantly you want what you say to be remembered. Also, dont focus on what the board is doing, especially if you see them taking notes (either on paper, their phone or ipad etc). There is a good chance that something you said is prompting them to write something they hadnt thought of and dont want to forget. Remember, you can get a copy of the agenda from the town clerk (she will have the official copy by Tuesday). I believe it is also posted in advance on the BOE website.
