<div dir="auto"><div>I have made use of online sessions to educate the Board on specific issues. Mass Housing Partnership, the Citizens Planners Training Collaborative and APA YouTube Channels are good resources. MHP has a number of sessions on MBTA Communities Act. APA has numerous videos that are issue specific as well as more general planning topics.

<p class="MsoNormal">Have any other communities done something like this before? I am not opposed to blatantly copying what other towns have done in the past. I’m also looking for any surveys that have been sent to boards/committees to gauge satisfaction
and highlight their needs.<u></u><u></u></p>
