Our History

February 24, 2004 - The Beginning

The Wayland Voters Network was founded with a simple but powerful mission: to keep Wayland residents informed about local government decisions that affect their daily lives. What started as a small email list has grown into a vital community resource.

Growing Community

Over the years, our community has grown to over 1,250 active members who receive regular updates about town meetings, budget discussions, school board decisions, and other important civic matters. Our members represent diverse perspectives and all areas of Wayland.

1,460+ Messages & Counting

Since our founding, we've shared over 1,460 messages covering everything from budget hearings and zoning changes to school policies and environmental initiatives. Every message is archived and searchable, creating a valuable historical record of Wayland's civic life.

How We Work

We monitor town meetings, read official documents, and attend public hearings to bring you clear, factual summaries of what's happening in Wayland government.

Our updates are non-partisan and focus on helping residents understand the issues so they can make informed decisions as voters and community members.

We encourage respectful dialogue and provide a platform for residents to share information and perspectives on local issues that matter to them.
