She has been an active volunteer in other town initiatives including overrides, <br />and has served on committees of school leadership. She has gotten to know members of <br />the Bylaw Committee in her role as Precinct Chair on the Rules Committee. <br />One topic she anticipates addressing on the Bylaw Committee is electronic voting at Town <br />Meeting. She stated that she sees the Rules Committee and Bylaw Committee working <br />together to ensure a smooth transition and continuing research and supporting the Town <br />Moderator for the potential for electronic voting. <br />Ms. Hillery stated that she is very proud of her approach to things, with an eye towards the <br />mission to which she is assigned. As a member of the Bylaw Committee, she would use the <br />same approach without any sort of agenda, and feels that she can act in a manner <br />consistent with the charge of the Committee. Her legal training helps her approach things <br />in an ethical manner. <br />Jared Belliveau: <br />Page 1 1 <br />
