Direct experience in municipal service is not required for any of them!

If you have ever had an interest in doing (or doing even more) civic duty, any of these roles offers a stimulating and deeply meaningful avenue.

Please consider serving your local community while discovering fascinating opportunities and your own hidden talents along the way!

penfield town supervisor resigns

Tuesday, Feb. 7, 2023 -- Penfield Town Supervisor Marie Cinti announced today that she has resigned so she can continue to care for an ill family member.

We are very sorry to see her leave office. Marie was a much-needed change to Penfield town government. She enthusiastically engaged with the Penfield community and was open to hearing different perspectives and ideas from any resident. She addressed some difficult Town issues from before her tenure with competence, grace, and candor.

We respect Marie and thank her for her dedication and commitment to Penfield. We understand and support her in her focus on her family and wish her only the best.

We hope the Penfield town government will fully embrace and carry forward Marie's openness to fresh, diverse ideas and transparency, demonstrating those valuable traits in all they do.
