Select Board/Town Manager

Select Board

The Select Board is the executive branch of Town government, and has legal responsibilities derived from State statutes and Town bylaws. Select Board members are elected. Specifically, the Board:

• Prepares the town meeting warrant
• Makes appointments to town boards and offices
• Employs professional administrative staff and town counsel
• Establishes Select Board policies
• Signs warrants for the payment of town bills
• Grants licenses and permits

The Brewster Select Board and Town Management believe: 

• We have a responsibility to understand and address inequality in all forms.
• A workplace that attracts and retains diverse personnel allows us to serve our residents more productively and creatively.
• We have a duty to residents, employees, visitors, and businesses to ensure that everyone is treated with respect and dignity.
