The Wendell Board of Commissioners appointed members to multiple advisory boards during its June 8 meeting.
Town Clerk staff explained the recruitment and appointment process earlier in the meeting and noted recruitment ran from February through May 15, 2026. The board then took separate ballots for each advisory board.
