On December 6, 2023, the League of Women Voters of Wellesley held our annual information session for anyone interested in running for Town Meeting or one of Wellesley’s Boards in our town's March 2024 election. With our panel of civic all-stars, we explored topics like how Wellesley Town Government is structured, how to run a campaign, and what is the time commitment for serving as a Town Meeting member as well as on other Town Boards.

Here is the recording from our event with Wellesley residents who ran for local office and won.

Christina Horner (School Committee), Michael D’Ortenzio (Natural Resource Commission), Jeff Wechsler (Board of Public Works), and our moderator Jennifer Fallon (LWVW VP Voter Services) share their experience and wisdom in this video.

Please Consider Running for Office!

Our town runs thanks to dedicated citizen volunteers along with the wonderful town staff. There are volunteer opportunities large and small where you can run to help keep Wellesley working - from Town Meeting to Select Board. We all have the chance to get involved and make a difference.
