Town Meeting Institute

The Town Meeting Institute is an organization that provides training and resources to help local communities conduct effective and participatory town meetings. These meetings are democratic gatherings where residents discuss and make decisions on local issues, budgets, and policies. The Institute offers workshops, guidance, and support to elected officials and community members to ensure transparent, inclusive, and well-informed decision-making processes. Its goal is to strengthen local democracy, promote civic engagement, and improve the functioning of town meetings across New England and beyond.
