Coffee & Conversations - A Series
Relaxed, drop-in conversations about the future of Maine - the Maine we want to build together.
Intentionally simple: no speeches or formal program. Just coffee, conversation, and a chance to share ideas.
Each session will highlight a topic, but you're welcome to bring any question, concern, or perspective. Listening is an important part of leadership, and I want to hear directly from the people who live and work here.
