Robert Bois Appointed to Conservation Commission

Selectmen filled an opening on the Framingham Conservation Commission Tuesday night.

Framingham Selectmen appointed Robert Bois to sit on the Conservation Commission. Bois, a Framingham resident, has been the environmental compliance office for the town of Natick since 2002. Brian Clew, a member of the Sudbury Valley Trustees, withdrew his name from consideration prior to Selectmen taking action, stating Bois was a superior candidate for the job. Clew’s withdrawal left the board with a choice between Andrew Kadets, a real estate attorney, and Bois. Acting Board of Selectmen Chair Charlie Sisitsky thanked both Clew and Kadets for showing interest in serving the town and invited them to apply for other positions that might open in the future
