With my "Liaison" groups, I was responsible for reviewing their minutes and communicating to the Board of Selectmen if there are any concerns we needed to be aware of, or that warranted action. And then, of course, there are the groups that I "followed", which means watching their agenda and minutes and going to many of their meetings. These include the Planning Board, Water Resources Advisory Committee, the WANT (sewer extension) committee, South Acton Train Station Advisory Committee, etc.

Lots of folks still ask about my work with international disaster relief. While I'm no longer shipping supplies long distance, I am helping nourish sharing networks, via our award winning disaster relief and social service database, which most recently focused on mutual aid community groups focused on Covid/climate/economic relief/recovery.
