Standing Committees

Standing Committees are established by charter or ordinance and serve ongoing needs. Members are elected on alternating years to ensure continuity of each committee’s work. Committee email addresses will reach all members. To see committee membership, purposes & tasks, meeting times, and initiatives, click the link on the committee name.

Special Committees

Special Committees are established by the Village Assembly Chair if a specific need, not covered by Standing Committees requires attention. With the exception of the Archives Committee, the members are appointed and serve until the committee is no longer needed or the Village Assembly Chair appoints a replacement. Below are the current active Special Committees.
