Township boards frequently delegate managerial responsibilities to the supervisor. Your township government welcomes citizen involvement. Many township programs and services rely on volunteers. Citizens serve on appointed boards or commissions that decide important public issues. Some townships hold Annual Meetings where electors directly participate in decisions allowed by law.
