As your recently elected councilman, I am thrilled to embark on a journey that aligns with my core values – transparent government and robust community engagement. Today, I am excited to introduce "Dialogues with Dan: Open Conversations for a Stronger Community".
I’ve always believed that open dialogue for municipal governance is necessary to ensure everyone's voice shapes our township's future. "Dialogues with Dan" is a tangible step towards improving the transparency and commitment to diversity within West Windsor. “Dialogues with Dan” has been designed to create a space where we can engage in meaningful conversations, exchange ideas, and work collaboratively to address the needs and aspirations of our community. There are both online and in-person components of this initiative.
Come join me for the first "Dialogues with Dan" session
WHEN: Saturday March 16th from 11am to 1pm
WHERE: Just Salad, 153 Nassau Park Blvd
I encourage you to mark your calendars and join me in an open and honest conversation.
Just Salad is a new casual-comfort eatery located at 153 Nassau Park Blvd (across from Wegmans and behind PetSmart).

Key Features of "Dialogs with Dan"
Purpose: To provide an open forum where residents can express their thoughts, concerns, and suggestions directly. These sessions will be an opportunity for me to listen, learn, and work together with you to build a stronger and more vibrant community.
In-Person Frequency: Monthly, with the potential for more frequent sessions based on demand. Sessions will rotate across various public locations.
Online Discussion Forum: This forum, hosted on my website danweissnj.com/forum, is designed to be a hub for civil discourse on a variety of topics relevant to our community. The goal is to create an inclusive platform where residents from across the entire township can come together to discuss matters that impact us all. Whether it's local initiatives, community events, or shared interests, this forum aims to be the virtual space where your voices can be heard.
Diverse Discussion Groups: The forum will launch with six distinct discussion groups, in addition to a general group. These groups cover a range of topics to ensure there's something for everyone. Use the General discussion group to submit suggestions for additional groups.
Civil Discourse: The forum is meant for civil and respectful discussions. The goal is to create an environment that encourages constructive dialogue and the exchange of ideas.
Inclusivity: The forum is hosted on a website, making it accessible to everyone with an internet connection. A social media account is not needed. The forum is accessible via both desktop and mobile devices.
Registration: To maintain a secure and respectful environment, participants are required to register with their name and email. One click registration via Google or Facebook authentication is supported. This helps in fostering accountability and ensures a positive and engaging experience for all.
Please note that this is not a platform for personal or private issues, or to conduct Township business.
