APPLICATION & REVIEW PROCESS
Completed forms will be sent to the Board of Selectmen for review. If this is your first time volunteering for a Town position, you will be contacted by a member of the Board of Selectmen as part of their vetting process. The application review process typically spans three meetings of the Board of Selectmen; on the third meeting, the Board will vote on whether or not to make the appointment. This process is only expedited in cases where a volunteer has been vetted previously.
