Town Government
West Stockbridge Select Board
About the Board
The Select Board is elected town-wide, so every West Stockbridge voter helps choose all three, and each serves a three-year term on a staggered schedule that puts a 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, and hires and supervises the Interim 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 Interim Town Administrator and holds the Administrator 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 chair. At its June 1, 2026 reorganization it appointed Kathleen Keresey as Chair; Andrew Krouss and Tobias Casey serve as members.
