Purpose: The Winchester Town Meeting Association was formed in 2023 to enable well-informed debate and decisions during Winchester town meetings through —
- Supporting communication among town meeting members about town issues and town meeting articles;
- Facilitating the timely distribution of information about town issues and town meeting articles to town meeting members and the public; and
- Broadening public awareness of the Winchester Town Meeting and its role in town governance.
Membership: All duly elected or appointed and currently serving Winchester Town Meeting members in good standing, as certified by the Winchester town clerk, are members of the TMMA.
Activities: In support of its purpose, the TMMA—
- Provides individual TMMA email addresses to members;
- Maintains a membership directory of current TMMA members to facilitate communication among members;
- Provides a monitored discussion board to which members may post questions, information and statements related to upcoming town meeting articles and on-going issues (with read-only access for the public);
Governance: The TMMA is an independent and impartial private association governed by an executive board elected annually and supported by dues payable by voluntary contribution of the members. The TMMA is —
- Not an arm of the Town of Winchester or the Winchester Town Meeting;
- Not a registered lobbying or advocacy organization; and
- Not affiliated with or supported by any political parties, corporations or interest groups.
