From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A township trustee or town trustee is a public official who is elected to a civil township's government. Trustees are responsible for everyday city governance, including budget management, road maintenance, record keeping, and humanitarian aid.[1][2] Trustees are typically elected to boards in regular election cycles, and are most common in the Midwestern and Northeastern United States.[3]
