About the CSC
The Communications Study Committee was established by the 2021 Fall Town Meeting to respond to the dramatic changes that have taken place in the communications environment in the past 25 years. Today’s fractured media landscape has significantly changed how residents learn about the work of Town Meeting and the Town’s elected and appointed boards.
The Committee evaluated opportunities to improve effective communication among residents, the Town’s elected and appointed boards, commissions and committees, and Town Meeting Members, especially communication about articles and motions to be considered and voted at Town Meetings.
The Committee solicited input from Town Meeting members, Town boards, commissions and committees, town civic groups and businesses, and town residents; and considered best practices in Winchester and elsewhere; and to form its recommend actions for improving communications.
