In the interest of furthering efforts for public engagement and inclusivity, and to encourage community members with diverse backgrounds, experience, opinions, and ideas, the Selectboard is advertising seats that have expiring terms. Advertising seats, rather than automatically reappointing provides a higher level of transparency and accountability, with the hope to invite more members of the community to participate in local government.
Volunteers who have expiring terms are encouraged to reapply for another term. Volunteers who offer their time to serve on advisory boards and committees are invaluable to supporting activities and decisions for the entire town.
