Holding office in local government is an incredibly impactful way of helping to improve your community, but it can be daunting to those who have never done it before. What positions can you run for? How do you run for public office? Do you need to gather signatures? What kind of time commitment can you expect?
Join the Swanton Public Library to discuss the Swanton Town and Village government, positions up for re-election and opportunities for getting involved. Thanks to a Spark! Connecting Community Grant via the Vermont Community Foundation, the SPL will be embarking on a journey to document how our local government works and ways to get involved in local leadership.
We will be discussing:
How to get on the 3/2021 ballot
Positions open for the 3/2021 election
Appointed positions in local government
Leadership opportunities in other local groups
Questions from the crowd: What do you want to know about Swanton Government?
Students: this is good information to learn about your local government!
