Independence Township Supervisors
The Board
One thing that they all have in common, which many residents may not know, is that they do this for the love of their community. They do it without compensation, even though they are allowed to take one. The position takes time, effort and money. The reason they do it is simple, to secure the health, safety and welfare of the citizens of the township and they take their job very seriously.
