Who is a member?
Our members are the local governments of Massachusetts and their elected and appointed leadership.
The WEMO Nominating Committee will prepare a slate of nominations for election during the annual WEMO Leadership Luncheon, held every January in Boston.
Women Elected Municipal Officials, a group within the MMA’s membership, is seeking nominations for its 2025 steering committee.
Any woman mayor, select board member, or city or town councillor in Massachusetts may complete the online nomination form by Nov. 8 to submit their name for consideration.
The WEMO steering committee consists of one mayor, three select board members and two councillors. Nominations are open for two officer positions: chair and vice chair. Nominations are also open for four director positions. WEMO officers and directors serve one-year terms, and there is no restriction on which elected position serves in these seats.
WEMO steering committee responsibilities include attendance at WEMO committee meetings and planning content and recommending speakers for WEMO virtual and in-person events. The WEMO committee meets virtually on a monthly basis. Previous participation in WEMO and MMA events is strongly preferred.
After interviewing all nominees, the WEMO Nominating Committee will prepare a slate of nominations for election during the WEMO Leadership Luncheon on Jan. 24, 2025, in Boston.
