Forum Chat Room
 

Forum Chat Room
This feature is designed to enable open communications for people who work in social services or public policy for the benefit of sharing experiences and knowledge, and to help build a stronger community. We are pleased to offer this Chat Room in response to the requests of many Community Forum participants who sought a way to maintain a dialogue with each other throughout the year.
This bulletin board is posted in the spirit of greater communication, cooperation, and concern for our community among key individuals and organizations in the Acton and Boxborough areas.

Policy on Participation

This Chat Room is intended for use by agency partners, key stakeholders and concerned individuals who have a vested interest in the health and well being of the residents of the Boxborough and Acton communities.

At all times, participants shall exercise courtesy and professional decorum. When posting a question OR a response, please be respectful of each other’s needs and concerns, recognizing that issues raised represent challenges or situations of concern to the writer, and should not be treated lightly.

This is not a forum for promoting political or personal agendas, for criticizing governmental concerns or policies, or addressing other matters unrelated to the social service conditions of the communities of Acton or Boxborough. The Forum Chat Room is provided in the spirit of greater communication, collaboration and cooperation among those working to improve the quality of life in our area. Anyone deemed to be in violation of this policy will have their password, and access to the Chat Room, terminated.

The intent of this ‘room’ is to share concerns or ideas, raise questions of interest and benefit to each other, and to move agendas forward as put forth by the Forum attendees — local transportation, support services for immigrants, marketing / communications help for agencies, affordable housing, etc.
