Run For It: Inside the Realities of Local Leadership
What does it really take to run for local office? In this special episode of Women of Wayland, we step back from our usual interview format to bring you a powerful community conversation hosted by the League of Women Voters of Wayland. Titled “Run For It: The Town Office Experience,” this event explores the decision to run for office, the realities of serving, and why local democracy depends on everyday people stepping forward. This discussion features elected leaders from three of Wayland’s most impactful boards:<br /><ul><li><a href="https://www.wayland.ma.us/school-committee/events/8713" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Wayland School Committee</a></li><li><a href="https://www.wayland.ma.us/select-board" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Wayland Select Board</a></li><li><a href="https://www.wayland.ma.us/planning-department-board" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Wayland Planning Board</a></li></ul>Together, they share candid reflections on:<br /><ul><li>Why they chose to run</li><li>How contested elections feel in a small town</li><li>The challenge of balancing work, family, and public service</li><li>What leadership looks like behind the scenes</li><li>Why thick skin matters</li><li>How local governance is deeply personal — but not necessarily partisan</li><li>Why showing up matters more than complaining</li></ul>With Wayland’s recent elections seeing uncontested races, this conversation hosted by Sue Flicop asks an important question:<br />How do we ensure voters have choices — and diverse voices are represented at the table? This episode aligns closely with our season’s focus on encouraging more women, young families, and underrepresented voices to step into civic leadership. Local democracy is not abstract.<br />It’s zoning decisions. School budgets. Library oversight. Long-term planning. And it only works when people participate.
