WAXHAW GOVERNMENT & HOW TO GET INVOLVED: Waxhaw Government: The Town of Waxhaw is a council-manager form of government. The council-manager form of govern- ment is the system of local government that combines the strong political leadership of elected officials in the form of a council or other governing body, with the strong managerial experience of an appointed local government manager. The form establishes a representative system where all power is concentrated in the elected council and where the council hires a professionally trained manager to oversee the deliv- ery of public services. How to Get Involved: Join a Board or Commission! The Waxhaw Board of Commissioners believes that all citizens have the right to participate in making town decisions. By being appointed to advisory Boards & Commissions, citizens are able to help make valuable decisions about and for the Town of Waxhaw. The Board of Commissioners make appointments at different times. You can submit a volunteer application online or in person at Town Hall.
