Westford Seeks Volunteers To Staff Elections, Town Meetings

Westford is asking residents to step forward to help run the town's elections and Town Meetings, even as a seat on the Conservation Commission sits open and the Town Manager's August newsletter lands with an update on municipal priorities.

TOWN HALL

The town is recruiting community members to help support elections and Town Meetings, according to a notice posted on the town's website, as officials look to fill roles ahead of the fall election season. Westford is also seeking a resident to fill an opening on the Conservation Commission, one of several volunteer board seats the town is working to fill this summer. Separately, the Town Manager's August newsletter is now available on the town website with an update on ongoing municipal projects.
