The Park Slope Civic Council is holding its monthly trustees meeting on Thursday, Oct. 7 at 8PM at the New York Methodist Hospital Executive Dining Room. This meeting is always open to the public. In fact, if you want to make a presentation to the Civic Council about a pertinent issue you can. It’s too late for this meeting because you need to give advance notice of at least ten days in writing but here’s the way to do it for the next meeting:

1. Application. Download an application form from our website and send it to mail@parkslopeciviccouncil.org.

2. Advance Notice.
(a) People wishing to make purely informational presentations -– in other words, a vote of the Civic Council is not requested –- must inform the Civic Council Secretary at least ten (10) days prior to a monthly meeting.
(b) People wishing to make a presentation for which a vote of the Civic Council is requested must inform the Civic Council Secretary at least thirty (30) days prior to a monthly meeting.

3. Presentation Materials. Any materials (handouts, etc.) that are intended to accompany a presentation must be submitted in electronic format at the same time the request to make a presentation is made. (Elected officials and their representatives are exempt from this requirement.) Acceptable file formats are Microsoft Word, Microsoft PowerPoint, PDF, and Google Docs. Please e-mail them with your application form to mail@parkslopeciviccouncil.org.
Also, please be sure to provide all audio/visual equipment needed to make your presentation.

4. Timekeeping. Unless a longer time is approved in advance by the Civic Council, all people making a presentation to the Civic Council will be limited to five (5) minutes.
