The Amherst Select Board is no longer active. Select Board members were part-time Town officials. The Select Board's Office was located on the Mezzanine Level of Town Hall.

The Select Board usually met twice a month on Monday evenings, and more frequently as was necessary. Regular meetings were held at 6:30 p.m. in the Town Room of Town Hall and the Select Board met at 6:00 p.m. before most sessions of Town Meeting in the Music Room at the Amherst Regional Middle School.
