Committee Votes on Echo360 Hybrid Meeting Platform; Report Outlined for May
Hybrid Town Meeting Committee · Meeting of April 29, 2026
Natick's Hybrid Town Meeting Committee heard a vendor pitch for Echo360's PointSolutions platform, which enables voting and remote participation through annual licenses at $15 per user and clickers at $65 each. Chair Frank Foss and seven committee members learned that Echo360 serves 22 Massachusetts towns but that none currently run hybrid meetings; the company does not provide on-site support, though remote support operates until 8 p.m. Eastern Time.
Committee member Grace Keeney will develop a draft report outline for the May 19 meeting, including operational recommendations and order-of-magnitude costs, with the understanding that findings will inform future discussions with the Moderator and Clerk on procurement.
