JACKSON — Opportunities are available for residents who would like to serve on a variety of advisory boards and committees in Jackson.
Mayor Mike Reina said, “I continue to believe and support the concept that advisory boards and committees can provide an irreplaceable resource to identify issues and concerns, as well as providing practical advice on how we might resolve those issues in a more pointed manner. As we approach the July reorganization [of the municipal government] and the reappointment of residents to various advisory boards and committees, I want to make sure that these resources are once again available to benefit the residents of Jackson.”
Reina said officials are hoping to use the talents and abilities of residents as has been done in the past.
Any resident who would like to offer his or her services to Jackson may contact the mayor’s office at 732-928-1200, ext 211, or email snovak@jacksontwpnj. net, indicating their area of interest, background and reasons for wanting to serve.
