The Town of Newfields is governed by a Select Board comprised of three elected board members.  Members of the Select Board serve a three year-term and are staggered with one member elected each year.

The Select Board serves the community as the towns governing body. Under New Hampshire Revised Statute Annotated (RSA), Chapter 41 Choice and Duties of Town Officers; Selectmen; Section 41:8 in addition to a host of specific statutory duties, the Select Board's duty is to "manage the prudential affairs of the town and perform duties by law prescribed."  Authority rests with the board acting as a whole.  All actions taken by the Select Board must be voted on by a majority of the board at a public meeting that complies with the Right to Know Law (RSA Chapter 91-A).

The Select Board oversee the annual deliberative session in which budgets, warrant articles and citizen petitions are discussed.  In an effort to maintain community relations, community involvement and to constantly improve opportunities for collaboration, each member of the Select Board also serves as a Committee Representative on such committees as the Planning Board and Conservation Commission.

  • Actively seek opportunities to work with the leadership of other communities on ideas that may conserve natural and financial resources
  • Actively seek opportunities to work with its community members in an effort to continually enhance the quality of life in our community
