VIDEO. From the Montara Water and Sewer District (MWSD) Director’s meeting on Wednesday June 8th, 2022 at 7:30pm by Zoom.
MWSD Chair, Scott Boyd, introduces the Elections Academy.
To continue its long-standing commitment to community engagement and education, Montara Water and Sanitary District (MWSD) initiated a three session Elected Community Service Academy in Fiscal Year 2021-2022. Academy sessions were held in July 2021 and January 2022.
The final session will be held Wednesday June 8th.
• Roles and Responsibilities of Elected Leaders
• Candidate Filing and Campaign Requirements, and Election Calendar
The academy sessions engaged community members, with a committed focus towards any underrepresented population, within the MWSD boundary in a series of outreach meetings and communications. The academy worked to improve understanding of the roles and responsibilities of Directors elected to the MWSD Board of Directors, as well as the candidacy, campaign, and election process to secure election to any open seat. The academy has worked to promote broad understanding and interest by all voters in elected leadership positions with MWSD, and other local elected bodies.
The academy has been timed to engage and educate the public prior to 2022 Board elections and candidacy filing deadlines. The academy also serves to prepare qualified candidate prospects should vacancies occur and require appointments to the Board.
The final Academy Session is scheduled for June 8, 2022 6:30-8:00PM and will focus on summarizing our prior academy sessions and elected community leader thoughts on:
• Roles and Responsibilities of Elected Leaders
• Candidate Filing and Campaign Requirements, and Election Calendar
