Conflict of Interest and Open Meeting Law Training

Town Council's office will host a training session for newly elected or appointed members of and town boards, commissions and committees (except School Committee) who have not fulfilled the Mandatory Training By-law requirement, as well as interested members of the public.

All elected or appointed officials, elected or appointed after September 26, 2006 must attend a training seminar. Officials unable to attend should contact Town Counsel to make other arrangements.  A copy of the by-law can be obtained at the Town Clerk’s Office or on-line at http://www.brooklinema.gov/townclerk (Refer to Town By-laws Article 3.20).
