This is an opportunity to participate in the public comment section of the District Board Meeting. Upon registering you will receive a template script to lean on as a tool (only if needed!). The goal here is for District advocates (like you!) to share positive stories about the work of the District. Board meetings are being held both both virtually and in-person. You can chose how you'd like to be involved. Either way, you will receive a total of 1 hour for sharing your testimonial!
