Boards & Committees

Volunteering can be very rewarding and it is an opportunity to help your community and become part of the decision making process. It is also a great way to meet new people, keep busy, and get involved in your Town!

The Town of Cornwall looking for experienced volunteers for Boards and Committees to give their time and talents serving the Town. Whether you are retired or just interested in community involvement the town would appreciate your help.

Some Boards meet quite often, some once in awhile, and some are busy at different times of the year.
