1. How do I apply for a board or commission?

Candidates can apply online. Please see below:

www.FraminghamMa.Gov/serve 

Alternately candidates may send a completed application, statement of interest and resume to:

MAIL: 

ATTN: Keziah Franca, Citizen Participation Officer

Memorial Building

150 Concord Street, Room 121

Framingham MA 01702

EMAIL:

2. What if the board or commission is already filled?

We strive to keep our boards and commissions up-to-date and fully filled. When a particular board or commission is filled or has pending appointments, we will try to let the applicant know as soon as possible that this is the case. If the online application system indicates that the desired board or commission does not have a current vacancy, we encourage applicants to still submit an application because terms are continuously in flux and unexpected resignations might need to be filled. We keep a file of all applicants even for fully staffed boards and commissions.

3. What is the selection process?

Depending on the position, the full application will be reviewed by the Citizen Participation Officer and the Mayor. Interviews would be held shortly after. If the candidate is selected for appointment, the recommendation will go to the appropriate committee of the City Council for review and the candidate may be invited to meet the committee. The appointment will then go to the full City Council for final review and approval.
