Shadow Government Observers

Quick Links: Bloomington | Ellettsville | Monroe Co. | Stinesville

We seek volunteers to attend and observe, on a regular basis, the city and county meetings listed below. It's a great way to become more familiar with your local government. Observing can also be an important first step in preparing yourself to serve as a member of one of these bodies.

Each observer will be asked to keep tabs on his or her chosen group and report on any issue of interest to Greens that comes up at the meetings. These reports may take the form of email messages to our discussion list or brief presetations at regular Green Party membership meetings. Observers will become our own "experts" on their groups.

If we want to help shape policy, we need to be aware of what's happening in local government meetings. Attending all these meetings would be impossible for one person. If we pool our efforts, however, we can stay informed and start making our voices heard.

If you would like to volunteer for one of the open positions, please contact:
