FPD of DC meeting canceled and no news of future meetings

The current Forest Preserve Commissioners and President always say a couple of things... "We must be doing OK since people don't come to the meetings." or you often hear "If the people are really interested they would be here at the meetings." The meetings are held on a Tuesday morning at 9:00 AM. The last evening meeting they had was on Valentine's day evening 2-14-12.
And when they cancel a meeting they don't even bother to post when their next meeting would be held. Click here and then click on the 10/22 meeting notice line: http://www.dupageforest.com/AboutUs/Commission/Meetings/Schedules/2012_Meeting_Notices.html

If they really wanted more people involved they would do the following:

1. Hold many more evening meetings.
2. Tape and broadcast their meetings on local cable and the Internet like the over whelming majority of local government agencies including Park Districts do every week.
3. Detail the next meeting date when they post any meeting cancellation.
4. The Commissioners should have town hall meetings in the communities they are supposed to represent.

There are many ways to solicit and gain more citizen participation with the Forest Preserve District of DuPage County. As your Commissioner I would pursue these easy steps as a start!
