Committees, Boards, & Commissions
The Village of Hobart has numerous boards and commissions that advise the Village Board or have direct responsibility for various functions or activities within the Village. If you are a resident of the Village and would be interested in serving, please contact Village President Rich Heidel or Village Administrator Aaron Kramer. The next time that an opening occurs for a board or commission that interests you, we will include your name among any others who have volunteered. Be a part of Village Government!
