If you would like to be considered for a current or future appointment, complete the form and return it to the Selectmen’s Office at your earliest convenience.  You can fax it (860 434 1400) or e-mail it (to selectmansoffice@oldlyme-ct.gov) if you prefer.

The board of selectmen welcomes participation in town government and thanks all board and commission members for their willingness to serve the community.
