Town Coordinators
The Town Coordinator (TC) program of the CWC is an initiative designed to help the CWC to be attentive and responsive to important developments within the towns in the KEYS region, in support of the well-being of the citizens of the KEYS region. Each KEYS town is assigned by the CWC Board a volunteer coordinator-networker whose job it is to serve as a connecting link between the CWC and the citizens and government of their town. The towns benefit from this position by virtue of the TC's awareness of what is happening "on the streets" of the town and in other towns in the KEYS region, and commitment to share useful information. The TCs meet monthly with the CWC's coordinator, to network and plan in support of regional well-being.
Current CWC Town Coordinator’s are:
Meredith Sudborough - Kittery
To Be Announced - Eliot
Eric Hopkins - York
Molly Coleman - S. BerwickMolly maintains the blog The 236 Diner: http://the236diner.com/ covering South Berwick news and educating citizens who want to become more involved in their community.
