PAB struggles to reach community groups during election season; board plans flyers, library and town-council outreach
Summary
Board members said community groups have been slow to respond during an election year; they proposed distributing one-page handouts, placing flyers at libraries and community centers, using sheriff's event booths, and asking to present at neighboring town council meetings.
The chair (speaker 1) told board members she has contacted community groups including Concerned Black Men, Concerned Black Women, NAACP and party central committees with limited response during the election season. She said she is drafting a one-page handout about the functions of the PAB and ACC and will route it through the communications and media relations department for design. "I am working on drafting a, handout, a 1 page handout of what these boards are briefly and then where they could get additional information from," the chair said.
Members suggested practical outreach tactics: place flyers at the county library and community centers, ask the sheriff's office for booth space at county events (fair, Juneteenth), reach out to candidates to display materials at campaign events, and request brief presentations at the North Beach and Chesapeake Beach town council meetings to obtain recorded videos for wider circulation.
