May 7, 2025 By The Town of Hingham
Citizen engagement and voluntarism are at the core of Hingham’s character. As with our commitment to Open Town Meeting, ours is a community where citizens assume the responsibilities of self-governance by serving on Town boards and committees.
The Town of Hingham website is the perfect place to get information on committee service. Just click on the “Government” tab and you will see the many options open to you.
A series of interviews for residents who have an interest in serving on a Town board or committee will be held by the Select Board and the Moderator in the weeks ahead. You can complete a Talent Bank Form on the Town’s website. Please submit your Talent Bank Form to the Select Board Office as soon as convenient and by Monday, May 26, 2025. The interview dates will be posted on the Town’s website and published in our local papers (tentatively scheduled for June 2, 3, and, if needed, 11), all in person at Town Hall.
Your readiness to give your time and talent to our town is essential to Hingham’s future. The work is interesting, essential, and rewarding. Please step up and get involved.
Well, that didn’t work. I carved out an hour of my day to complete the Talent Bank Form only for my submission to be rejected for . . . no specific reason.
No wonder we can’t find citizens to volunteer.
