From a communications standpoint, my department never has a shortage of things to share with our community. From summer concerts to snow removal updates, there is always something to talk about here in Fishers.
While we definitely don’t lack content, the question I find myself asking is “Who is our message reaching?” The goal, of course, is everyone, and the Town uses various mediums to spread the word including the Fishers Alert email system, the Town Talk monthly newsletter, www.fishers.in.us, Facebook and Twitter.
However, these channels all rely on the residents to connect with us. We want to come to you.
Moving forward, the Town will develop for more fluid communications with our Fishers neighborhoods. We’d like to work with neighborhood homeowners associations to get feedback on projects, spread the word about public meetings and special events and send Town officials out to your meetings to share important information.
We are actively collecting homeowners’ association contacts and meeting information, and I’m asking you to help. The Town has created an easy-to-use form on the website in hopes of collecting HOA information, including president/board contact information, meeting schedules and any social media information.
I’m asking that you take a minute, visit www.fishers.in.us/HOA and fill out the form, or remind your HOA president to do so. This will help to ensure that the lines of communications are open between the Town and your neighborhood, and that’s a good thing for all of us.
I’m lucky to work in place where collaboration is a core value. I look forward to this spirit of collaboration expanding beyond the walls of our office and into our neighborhoods. Please take a moment to help us make that happen.
