Devon has a dedicated group of individuals who support their fellow residents and provide community leadership. Town boards are an opportunity for the public to become involved with municipal government and town activities.
The boards meet on a monthly and/or as needed basis. Board recruitment takes place annually in the the fall, with board members appointed November 1 of each year.
