Patrick-Murray Administration to Launch Webpage for Available Boards and CommissionsFriends,
One of the best and most lasting ways to engage with state government is to join on of over 700 Boards and Commissions in the Commonwealth. The development of a website about vacancies on Boards and Commissions marks a major step in making the process more open and increasing participation from all sectors. I hope you will take a look at positions that might interest you or share it with colleagues and neighbors.
