Why would the new system be easier than the old way to request to speak?

    Our new online platform brings a welcome change to the speaker request process. Gone are the days of separate systems for phone and in-person requests, where staff had to manually track every detail. Now, everything happens in one place – whether you're calling in or attending in person. The system handles all the organization automatically and even sends out reminders. It's a simpler, faster process that makes life easier for both speakers and staff.

    What are the benefits of the new system?

    Share your voice at Board meetings with our new speaker system:

    • Request to speak from anywhere, anytime
    • Choose phone or in-person participation
    • Select multiple agenda items
    • Get automatic confirmations and reminders
    • Available in multiple languages
    • No account needed – just fill out a simple form

    How will it work?

    Speaking at a Board meeting will be easier than ever:

    1. You’ll visit a website
    2. Select the meeting date
    3. Choose the agenda items you want to comment on
    4. Tell us if you'll attend in person or call in
    5. Receive confirmation and instructions by email
    6. Get a reminder the day before the meeting

    That's it! No paper forms, no complicated processes – just a simple way to make your voice heard.

    How will I sign up to speak if I don’t have computer access?

    Staff from the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors will still be in the Board Chamber to help you sign up to speak. They can sign you up directly in the Chamber or by phone.
