Letter: Why I Support Shana Dixon for Williamstown Select BoardLetter to the Editor,
01:18PM / Thursday, May 08, 2025 | |
 To the Editor:
As a former Select Board member (2015–2021), I am excited to see a new candidate, Shana Dixon, running for Select Board. After two terms on the board, I stepped aside to make room for new voices: I recognized the importance of not overstaying my time. As a board "retiree," you can mentor new Select Board members without the risk of violating open meeting law; you can speak at public meetings, where your perspective is informed by your experience and service to the town; you can volunteer as a community member on committees such as the Affordable Housing Trust, DIRE, and CPC; and, you can continue to advocate at Town Hall for the issues you care about.
