Westport Puts Out New Call For Volunteers For Boards & Commissions

WESTPORT, CT — In a message to constituents this week, First Selectwoman Jennifer Tooker again called on Westport residents to consider volunteering to serve on the town's boards and commissions:

"Over the past few years, Second Selectwoman Andrea Moore has spent considerable time meeting with and recommending eligible residents for appointments to non-elected Town Boards, Committees and Commissions," Tooker wrote in the statement. "Many people have heeded the call for civic involvement, and we are very appreciative of their efforts. These volunteers are making a difference in your community!

"The work of filling these positions is ongoing. Opportunities remain that may be of interest to those with unique skill sets, life or professional experience. This includes those with architectural experience for possible appointments to the Historic District Commission, or perhaps a background in building or engineering for the Building Maintenance Committee or the Public Site and Building Commission. Other agencies, such as the Parks Advisory Committee, Racquets Advisory Committee, Human Services Commission, Flood & Erosion Control Board (alternates), and the Tree Board are for those seeking an opportunity to volunteer, listen, and learn about town operations and how they may contribute in an advisory capacity. You must be a registered voter to be considered. Please submit an interest form (Interest Form) and discover how you may volunteer to serve Westport. You will find it very rewarding, I’m sure!"
