About us

The Chelsea Community Forum is a local discussion group that will meet on an ad hoc basis, either online or at a venue in the City of Chelsea, Michigan. The vision of this forum is to provide an open, safe, and courteous environment where neighbors can share information about important local issues.

All are welcome! The focus of the discussions is expected to be on topics of interest to residents of the western portion of Washtenaw County, roughly corresponding to the Chelsea School District (see map below).

This group was started by Pam Byrnes and Rod Anderson, both of whom have long been active in the community. They hosted monthly Community Forums starting in June 2016. The last monthly Forum was March 2022.

Vince Elie has moderated the most recent series of Forums and will continue to moderate ad hoc Forums going forward. An archive of notes from each session are available by clicking the desired time period in the Meetings Menu above.

Going forward, we plan to convene Community Forums on an ad hoc basis. We expect that a topic will be set prior to each session. Typically, topics will be decided in response to a current or anticipated event or initiative that has high community interest. If you would like to nominate a topic, please email us.
