Boards & Commissions

The City of Framingham encourages residents to participate in local government by volunteering to serve on boards, commissions, or committees. Boards, Commissions, and Committees serve a public purpose to inform legislation, City goals and objectives, bylaws and/or ordinances. They also provide community insight to the Executive (Mayor) and Legislative (City Council) branches of government, and essentially shape the future of the community and quality of life. 

Serving on a board, commission, or committee gives residents a voice in government and opportunity to contribute unique perspectives and enhance the processes of democracy.
