No elected member shall serve more than one consecutive term as an elected member and no appointed member shall serve more than one consecutive term as an appointed member.

Between the elected and appointed members, wide representation of the community is sought.

• Raise public understanding that CBP assures quality non-partisan government and volunteer involvement.
• Promote resident involvement and support (includes supplying names for CBP's fund-raising appeal).
• Recruit potential candidates for Village and Library office.
• Interview potential candidates to determine their interest and qualifications.
• Nominate candidates.
• Prompt residents to attend Town Meeting and vote. (Note: Members promote slate, not particular candidates.)
• Help as needed at the Town Meeting.
• Circulate petitions and work to get candidates elected if opposed.
