While the public elects two at-large members of the Board, the other elected city bodies (council, school board, library board, park board) appoint representatives to serve on the Board of E & T. And it's very likely that some of them have been women....
Good point! Laura mentioned Laurie Savran from the Library Board. I think Fran Naftalin served as a library board rep in years past. Patty Baker represented the Park Board. The council was usually represented by the chair of Ways & Means, which included Alice Rainville, Kathy O'Brien and Barb Johnson Patricia Donavan Baker (NCS '49) served for several years too.
