The sessions offer an opportunity for community members to learn more about the current initiatives, ask questions, share feedback, and connect directly with the Town’s equity and social justice leadership.

Office hours will be hosted by Albert Pless, Director of Equity and Social Justice, and are open to all residents interested in the office’s programs, priorities, and ongoing work.
