Page "Dedham, Massachusetts" Paragraph 37

While it is not called for in the Charter, there is a tradition in Dedham for the Chairmen of the several districts to elect from amongst themselves a chairman.

This Chairman of the Chairmen hosts what is officially known as the District Chairmen's Warrant Review Meeting but is much more commonly referred to as Mini Town Meeting.

The " Mini " is generally one week before the actual Town Meeting.

The purpose of the Mini is to air out several of the contentious issues before bringing them to the floor of Town Meeting.
