BOARD/COMMITTEE RESOURCES

Town Offices

Hello valued members of our boards and committees.  We have established this Resource Page as way of sharing information and materials about municipal laws, regulations, and best practices.  These materials should be of value regardless of whether you are on-boarding as a new member, looking for a refresher on hot topics, or looking to learn from the experiences of your colleagues and our terrific staff, several of whom are leaders in their respective fields.

We will continue to build out the page as new issues and topics arise, and in response to your feedback which we freely invite.

Thank you for your service to the Town and its residents.
