The Town of Wayland Wants You to Volunteer!

The town has a variety of volunteer opportunities that call for light, medium, or heavy time commitments and for specific skills or no particular skills at all, only an interest in the board’s work and willingness to learn. We—the Board of Selectmen—are providing you with information that we hope will pique your interest. This column focuses on the new Cable Advisory Committee (CAC).

The CAC has three principal responsibilities: 1) negotiate the terms of the renewal Cable TV licenses with Wayland’s service providers, Comcast and Verizon; 2) recommend that the Board of Selectmen grant these licenses; and 3) monitor the performance of the licensees during the ascertainment process to ensure compliance with the license terms and conditions. We expect that the five member committee will meet monthly or every other month beginning in 2019. Helpful—but not required—skills include negotiating experience, interest in or some knowledge of our local cable operations, ability to understand contracts, and common sense.

If you have questions or are interested in being considered to fill this or any town board position, please contact Teri Hegarty in the Selectmen’s office at thegarty@wayland.ma.us. We look forward to hearing from you!
