About
The Select Board functions as the Chief Executive body of the Town. Its five members are elected to three-year terms with one or two seats up for election each year. The Board acts as the chief policy making body of the Town and directly supervises the activities of the Town Manager. The Town Manager is responsible for supervising the day-to-day operation of all town departments falling under the direct control of the Select Board.
Meetings
The Select Board typically meets the first and third Monday of each month at 7:00 pm, unless a Monday is a holiday.
Check the Events Calendar on the first page of the website for scheduled meetings, agendas, and meeting packets.
Meetings are in person in the meeting room at the Hamilton Wenham Library while the Town Hall is being renovated.
As a courtesy to the public, zoom access is also provided via the link on the meeting agenda. However, a meeting will not be terminated in the event that technological issues disrupt the zoom broadcast.
Meetings are also broadcast live on your cable public access station; Channel 8 on Comcast and Channel 37 on Verizon. Recordings of the meetings are posted on You-Tube a day or so after each meeting.
Minutes of meetings are posted on the website after they are approved at a later meeting by the Select Board.
