Ethics Advisory Committee

At the 2011 Town Meeting, the Town's Ethics was ordinance rescinded, and a new committee, the Ethics Policy Revision Committee, was created and tasked with turning the ordinance into a policy. The New Durham Ethics Policy was completed on December 26th, 2011. It can be found here. The adoption of the policy completed the work of the Ethics Policy Revision Committee, and created a new Ethics Advisory Committee.

The purpose of the Ethics Committee is to:

  • Educate public servants regarding the provisions of the Ethics Policy guidelines.  
  • Provide advice and counsel regarding ethical issues.
  • Submit Ethics Policy revisions to the Board of Selectmen.

If you are a New Durham resident and are interested in being appointed to this committee, please contact the Town Hall at 859-2091.
