When Jocelyn Vare was a candidate for an at-large Fishers City Council seat, she emphasized communicating with the public as one of her issues. Monday afternoon, Councilwoman-elect Vare released her plans on how constituents will be able to communicate with her.
“My campaign was rooted in the belief that all residents should be informed and their voices should be heard,” said Councilwoman-elect Vare in a news release. “Until now, the City Council and its activities have been, to a great degree, an unknown for Fishers residents. My intention is to open new and more efficient lines of communication so that residents will feel more connected to their city government and feel welcome to participate.”
- Listen to Fishers Hotline – First established during the campaign, her Listen to Fishers hotline allows residents to leave a confidential voicemail. Residents who would like to share an idea or concern with her are encouraged to call (888) 518-7117.
- Monthly Email Newsletter – The councilwoman will share information with residents through a monthly email newsletter, which will feature a schedule of upcoming City Council meetings, public hearings and other events, as well information about important issues affecting the community and ways to participate as a resident. You can register online, jocelynvareforfishers.com or send an email to hello@jocelynvareforfishers.com.
- Office Hours – Effective January 29, 2020, Ms. Vare will keep office hours at Launch Fishers every Wednesday morning from 7:45am – 10:45am. Residents are encouraged to stop by for coffee and discuss any questions, concerns and/or ideas for the community. Launch Fishers is located at 12175 Visionary Way, behind Super-Target.
- Monthly Media Update – Each month, Vare will issue an update to the media that reaches Fishers residents, which will summarize Fishers City Council activity for the previous month, highlight upcoming votes and overview issues on which she is working with residents.
- Quarterly Ask Me Anything (AMA) Events – Beginning this winter, Jocelyn will host quarterly Ask Me Anything events via Facebook Live to offer residents the opportunity to ask questions, express concerns and share ideas. Dates and times for AMA events will be posted on Jocelyn’s Facebook page and website
Jocelyn Vare will begin serving as a Councilwoman at-large on January 1, 2020.
This is good to see. Much needed and appreciated.
I am more than excited to see the changes in communication with all of Fishers residents. This will give all Fishers residents the opportunity to speak to the Fishers City Council and better understand how their dollars are being spent.
Thank you for keeping your promise to all Fishers residents.
Exciting!
To little to late for our once proud and historic downtown. But at least she is trying….
