The STOWS meeting is to help prepare for the Annual Town Meeting

• Review order of Town Meeting actions

• Determine who will make motions and presentations

• Set time limits

• Discuss any other meeting procedures and format

Each department, board or group of voters that has sponsored an article for this Town Meeting should make arrangements for at least one member to attend STOWS, or contact Moderator Jim Salvie at StowModerator@stow-ma.gov to make other arrangements. 

If you plan to make a presentation:

All presentations are due to the Town Administrator by 9 p.m. on Monday, May 1, 2023. (townadministrator@stow-ma.gov)  Please also indicate who will be giving the presentation. 

• Presentations should be 10 minutes or less.

• It is at the Moderator’s discretion if additional time is warranted.

• Provide the Moderator the estimated length of presentations either at or prior to the STOWS meeting.

• Presentations should be in PowerPoint. Templates for PowerPoint presentations and Stow’s Town Meeting Presentation Guide are available on the Town's website under the Moderator's page. 

• If you plan to have non-voters attend to assist, please check out this “Information for Non-Voters” document.

Finally, please let us know if your board or committee will have any non-voters attending town meeting, making the presentation or available to answer questions.  We will add their name to the admit to auditorium list and the list for town meeting to vote to address town meeting.

Please also remember that any amendments must be submitted to the Town Clerk and Moderator in writing, on a form that is available from the Clerk’s office.
