Further, Hinds will convene his next Speak Up Western Mass public forum/community office hours event in Shelburne on Monday, July 17, 2017 from 2:00pm-3:30pm in the Selectmen's Meeting Room of Shelburne Town Hall, located at 51 Bridge Street.
Hinds expects to host at least 10 open conversation/community office hours events in rotating locations across his Berkshire, Hampshire, Franklin & Hampden District each year. The meetings are agenda-free, unscripted, and designed for residents and local officials to ask questions, share concerns, and make recommendations on state issues to the state Senator and his district staff.
So far in 2017, residents and community officials have joined Hinds and his staff in Williamsburg, Lanesborough, Huntington, Cheshire, Goshen and Pittsfield to discuss their priorities during his Speak Up Western Mass events.
Those who are unable to attend these events who are seeking to interact with Senator Hinds and his staff may email him at Adam.Hinds@masenate.gov or call the offices during normal business hours, Monday through Friday. The State House office, where the budget and policy, media relations, and scheduling functions are handled, can be reached at (617) 722-1625.
