Town Government
Leicester Select Board
About the Board
The Select Board is elected town-wide, so every Leicester voter helps choose all five, and each serves a three-year term on a staggered schedule that puts a couple of seats on the ballot each spring. The board sets town policy, signs the warrants that decide what Town Meeting gets to vote on, appoints residents to many town boards, 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 the Administrator accountable.
- Controls the warrant, deciding what business reaches Town Meeting for a vote.
Board Members
All five members are elected town-wide to staggered three-year terms, so a couple of seats appear on the June ballot each year. After each annual town election the board reorganizes and chooses its own officers. The town’s own roster currently lists Doug Belanger as Chair and Kevin J. Menard, Sr. as Vice Chair, with Peter Cusolito, Dianna Provencher, and Kellie Wilson serving as members.
