In the News: Finance Committee has open position

“I stepped down after 10 years on the committee to pursue other interests,” Michael Dufour told the Daily News after an opening on the committee was posted on the town’s homepage and Facebook page on Thursday. His term wasn’t set to expire for at least another year.

The announcement of the open volunteer position was made last week and share here:

The Franklin Finance Committee is now accepting applications for a new member. The position is for a 3-year term.

Finance Committee meetings are typically held on the 1st Tuesday of every month. As a committee member, you will be involved in the finances and financial procedures of the Town of Franklin and make recommendations as a committee to the Town Council on all financial matters.

Note: I would add this position provides great insights into the entire operations of the Town of Franklin and could be considered a 'must' as preparation for any further elected role (especially Town Council or School Committee) that one might consider.
