Heidi Frail was elected chair of the Town of Needham Select Board at the board’s reorganizational meeting on April 15, with a unanimous voice vote. The board also unanimously elected Kathy Dow as vice chair and Josh Levy as clerk.

The vote followed nominations from board members and brief procedural discussion. Mary Ann Cooley, who said she does not plan to run again, declined the clerk nomination before the board voted to make the position Josh Levy’s. Other routine appointments included the re‑appointment of Miles (Myles) Tucker as committee secretary and Susan Metropole as recording secretary; both were approved by voice vote.

In addition to officer elections, the board adopted its meeting schedule for the coming year by motion and voice vote. The schedule includes a noted correction for a meeting date in April that falls on Election Day; staff said the calendar will be adjusted to reflect the town’s tradition of holding the meeting either the following day or the same week in the fall.

The reorganizational business took place at the start of the Select Board’s regular meeting and was procedural in nature; no policy items were decided as part of the reorganization.
