The Town is served by many appointed and elected boards to complement the municipal offices. The elected officials range from selectmen, to trustees of the public library, or even sewer commissioners. Other positions are appointed by the selectmen or moderator. These boards interact with the daily operations of their departments within the Town and communicate with the residents on various issues. Anyone wishing to run for public office in the Town should contact the Town Clerk for specific deadlines, or contact the Selectmen's office for appointed positions.

If at any time you have questions or need to contact any boards/committees in Town, please contact the Selectmen's Office at (781) 326-4172 or email selectboard@townhall.westwood.ma.us at any time.
