My name is Amy MacNab and I would be honored to represent you as a member of the Duxbury Board of Selectmen. 

 

I have lived in Duxbury for forty years.  My husband, Jamie, and I have raised our three daughters here where they established a strong foundation for success by attending Duxbury Public Schools.  We are among the many hard working families of Duxbury that hope to retire in the community where we have worked, volunteered our time and raised our children.

 

Over the years, I have been an active citizen, served in elected positions and acquired a clear understanding of the issues facing the town of Duxbury.  I was elected three times to serve on the Duxbury Planning Board from 1998 to 2012; serving as Chairperson for 7 years.  I co-authored Duxbury’s 1999 Comprehensive Plan and went on to serve on the committee charged with implementation and bylaw update recommendations. Through my experiences as an elected official, I have a unique understanding of the general bylaws, zoning bylaws, and the specific responsibilities of each board within this linear form of government.  I am a constant and active participant at Town Meetings, the legislative body of our town government, raising questions with the goal of transparency and obtaining the necessary information for our residents to cast informed decisions. 

 

I do believe it is important to have a woman on the Board.  On September 1, we have an opportunity to elect a more diverse board that more closely reflects the composition of Duxbury residents. 

 

As your selectman, I will be your advocate and your voice as we navigate the important environmental, educational, fiscal and community issues.
