If you are interested in serving your town as an appointed volunteer, please download and fill out a Talent Bank Form and return it to the Town Manager's Office (you may fax it at 978-623-8220). When vacancies occur on a particular commission, council, or committee, the appointing authority will typically review the forms on file and seek input from the remaining members for finding a replacement. For additional information on a specific commission, council or committee, please contact the chairperson or a member thereof. Thank you.

Although the frequency of meetings varies depending on the responsibilities and workload of the particular commission, council, or committee, most conduct meetings either monthly or biweekly.
