LOCAL GOVERNMENT 101: HOW YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN DEDHAM

Each year, WINDD kicks off Dedham's election season with this signature event. The program features discussions with Town Clerk Paul Munchbach about election dates and campaign regulations and a conversation with Town Moderator Dan Driscoll about the ins and outs of Town Meeting. This year's forum also included a panel discussion with Heather Springer, Commissioner of Trust Funds, Margaret Adams, a Town Meeting member and Vice-chair of the Human Rights Commission, and Kim Bevans, a Town Meeting Member, about their experiences serving in office and campaigning.

CAMPAIGNS 101: HOW YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN DEDHAM

This was our third annual Campaign Workshop, oriented for people who are running for office or volunteering on campaigns. We covered such topics as messaging, publicity, voter outreach, and campaign materials. 

As part of this workshop, we put together a compilation of promotional materials from past Dedham elections. Candidates who are looking for ideas as they design their cards and flyers might want to check out these examples for ideas: https://tinyurl.com/DedhamCampaignExamples
