Town Government
Berkley Board of Selectmen
About the Board
The Board of Selectmen is elected town-wide, so every Berkley voter helps choose all three, and each member serves a three-year term on a staggered schedule that puts one seat on the ballot most springs. The board sets town policy, signs the warrants that decide what Town Meeting gets to vote on, appoints residents to many town boards, grants the town’s licenses, and hires and supervises the Town Administrator who runs the town day to day. When a daily problem becomes town policy, this is the room where it happens.
- Sets policy and direction for the whole town.
- Hires the Town Administrator and holds that office accountable.
- Controls the warrant, deciding what business reaches Town Meeting for a vote.
Board Members
All three members are elected town-wide. After each annual town election the board reorganizes and chooses its own officers. Tabitha McCrohan serves as Chair, Jennifer Vincent as Clerk, and Robert Longton as Member. Longton took the third seat at the May 2026 town election on a recount, which the Registrars of Voters certified on May 28, 2026.
