Volunteer for a Board, Commission or Committee

Involvement on our boards and commissions is important to the vitality and success of local government.  All of us should consider contributing our own talents to our community.  It takes more than living in a community to be part of it.  Our town needs volunteers in order to face the challenges of the future while maintaining the quality of life that we all enjoy.  Please take time to share your services with others.  Together we will keep East Haddam "A nice place to visit, and a better place to live".
