Meet the Board of Selectmen
This Page was Last Updated March 20, 2009
Since its incorporation, the Town of Windham and its residents have been served by dedicated members of the community, giving generously of their time and expertise to the betterment of the town. With the exception of the first three years after the granting of our charter, the Windham Board of Selectmen always consisted of 3 elected members. It was not until over 240 years later, in 1987, that the growth in town prompted the Annual Town Meeting to increase the Board’s membership to five. Although the configuration of the Board has undergone changes, the duties and responsibilities it is charged with have varied very little through the years. The addition to the staff of our Town Administrator in 1988 has lessened the burden on the Board in - among other things - managing the day to day operations of the Town, as well as preparation of budgetary matters and oversight of personnel issues, however it has not removed these responsibilities entirely. Working in cooperation with the Town Administrator, Department Heads, employees, residents, and a host of others, the primary objective of the Board remains the oversight and management of the Town’s financial, departmental, and community affairs. Currently, the individuals entrusted with these duties include:
While the members of the Board of Selectmen are not generally available in the Administrative offices during the course of the day, any concerns or questions can be addressed by the Administrative staff and/or the Town Administrator, David Sullivan. If listed in the local telephone directory, the Selectmen may be reached at their homes, if desired, or you may address correspondence to them at PO Box 120, Windham, NH, 03087.
An archive of Meeting Minutes is also available online.
