SOUTHWICK – The Southwick Board of Selectmen is seeking residents to fill two vacant seats on town boards.
The first is an interested resident to serve on the Park and Recreation Commission. This position will be up for re-election in May of 2015 for a one-year term. The resident must be a registered voter.
The seat became vacant when comissioner Michelle Ackerman resigned in late July, citing demands at her family business.
The Board of Selectmen and the Library Trustees are looking for an interested resident to serve as a Library Trustee. This position will be up for re-election in May of 2015 for a one-year term. The resident must be a registered voter.
The seat became vacant when Christopher Grabowski resigned last month. His resignation letter cited a demanding new job in Northampton as his reason for leaving the elected position.
“Most of my weekly work schedule I do not come home to Southwick until 9 p.m. at night,” Grabowski stated. “This is just not workable, nor is it fair to the Southwick Library Board of Trustees and the people of Southwick.”
Grabowski thanked the voters who elected him and said he “apologizes for not being able to complete my elected term.”
Residents interested in either seat should submit a letter of interest and resume by 12 p.m. on Sept. 19, 2014 to the Selectmen’s Office, Town Hall, 454 College Highway, Southwick, MA 01077.
