Greenwich Commission joins Girl Scouts for Women in Government Expo on April 6
During the recent Greenwich Planning & Zoning Commission meeting, members announced their participation in the upcoming Women in Government Expo, organized by the Greenwich Girl Scouts and the League of Women Voters. Scheduled for April 6 from 2 to 4 PM at Town Hall, this family-friendly event aims to engage young attendees, particularly those from pre-kindergarten to fifth grade, in discussions about local government.

Commission members expressed enthusiasm about the opportunity to connect with the community, although they acknowledged the challenge of explaining their roles in planning and zoning to a younger audience. To aid in this effort, they discussed utilizing educational materials, including a children's book about city planning and colorful maps of the town, to make the information more accessible and engaging for the children.

This initiative marks a renewed effort to involve the community in local governance and educate the next generation about civic engagement. The commission's participation reflects a commitment to fostering understanding and interest in government processes among youth, highlighting the importance of early education in civic responsibility. As the event approaches, the commission is eager to finalize their presentation and ensure a meaningful experience for all attendees.
