Just saw this new board forming. I know some of our membership fills these descriptions. Have a look and see if you would be interested in this community service.

[sample snippet]

Somerville recently announced the launch of the Innovation and Opportunity Lab advisory committee to support innovation and entrepreneurship in the city....


The committee will be made up of nine members, each serving two-year terms with options to serve longer, and will be from local nonprofits, academic institutions, residents and workers.

Here's the city post about it: https://www.somervillema.gov/news/mayor-curtatone-launches-somerville-innovation-and-opportunity-lab

I was reading some of the emails associated with the airplane noise issue and came across this group today. It looks like some of their issues are quite similar to ours. Maybe we should have them talk at one of our meetings in the future.

Here's what I was pointed to in the email: http://www.cambridgeresidentsalliance.org/2017_platform

Might be worth looking at this "Right to the City" resource as well.

Anybody know these folks?
