Westfield Township Call for Board & Commission Volunteers
The Town of Westfield has opened its 2020 call for volunteers to fill anticipated openings in its boards, commissions, and Mayor’s advisory councils. Residents can now visit westfieldnj.gov/volunteer to review full descriptions of each group and submit an application for their areas of interest.
“The public’s response to our online call for volunteers has been overwhelming since we implemented this process two years ago,” said Mayor Shelley Brindle. “Our community’s eagerness to engage and lend their time and expertise continues to impress me, and with 2020 shaping up to be a pivotal year on a number of fronts, we need volunteers now more than ever.”
In addition to the established boards, commissions, and councils, the Town is seeking additional volunteers to assist with the planning and execution of Westfield 300, the year-long celebration of Westfield’s 300th anniversary in 2020. Westfield 300 events are expected to include the anchor events of a Town-wide outdoor celebration in June and an enhanced year-end holiday event next December to cap the anniversary year. Over the course of 2020, ongoing Westfield 300 programming will also be scheduled, with historical lectures/re-enactments, musical events, architectural tours, a commemorative book, and additional opportunities to be finalized in the coming weeks and months among business owners, residents, and community organizations. Residents with expertise in event planning, fundraising, marketing/communications, and merchandising are encouraged to volunteer.
Applications will be accepted through Friday, December 13, 2019, with appointments made prior to the January 7, 2020 annual Town Reorganization Meeting.
