Two discussions at Annual Town Meeting raised awareness of Town Committees that have vacancies (the Advisory Committee and the Southborough Public Accessability Committee). So, I took a look at the current status and discovered over two dozen other vacancies.
For anyone considering getting more engaged in helping our community, here they are:
- Advisory Committee (2 vacancies)
- Capital Improvement and Planning Committee (2 vacancies)
- Conservation Commission (2 vacancies)
- Council on Aging (2 vacancies)
- Cultural Arts Council (1 vacancy)
- Economic Development Committee (3 vacancies)

- Metropolitan Area Planning Council (1 vacancy)
- Metrowest Regional Collaborative (1 vacancy)

- Recreation Commission (1 vacancy)
- Scholarship Advisory Committee (3 vacancies)
- Southborough Public Accessability Committee (1 vacancy)
- Stewardship Committee (2 vacancies)

Some vacancies have specific requirements, but if they included being a representative of a committee that also has a vacancy, I still included it. You can find the vacancy details here.
