The Town By-Laws require that each committee annually select a chairman and clerk (or secretary). The town’s annual committee cycle coincides with the Fiscal year (July to June). As a result, the annual organization process should take place after the new committee membership is in place (after July 1, or after the Annual Town election in the case of elective bodies). The By-Laws do not prohibit the number of consecutive terms a member may be elected an officer nor do they preclude more than one election of officers during the annual
cycle.
