Town Government
Worthington Selectboard
About the Board
The Selectboard is elected town-wide, so every Worthington voter helps choose all three, and each serves a three-year term on a staggered schedule that puts a seat 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 serves as the town’s chief executive, running the town’s business itself rather than through an appointed administrator. When a daily problem becomes town policy, this is the room where it happens.
- Sets policy and direction for the whole town, and serves as its licensing authority.
- Runs the town between meetings, supported by the board’s own office at 160 Huntington Road, staffed by an executive assistant.
- Controls the warrant, deciding what business reaches Town Meeting for a vote.
Board Members
All three members are elected town-wide. The most recent contest was decided at the May 2, 2026 Annual Town Election, where Deb Rocque won the three-year seat with 175 votes. The board’s officers, as the town posts them, are Charley Rose as Chair and Amy Wang as Clerk.
