Upper Darby Township Boards, Committees, and Commissions Handbook

We’re proud to announce the release of the Upper Darby Township Boards, Committees, and Commissions Handbook — a comprehensive guide designed to empower residents who serve (or want to serve) on local advisory bodies.

This new handbook brings greater transparency, clarity, and consistency to how our boards and commissions operate. It outlines roles, responsibilities, and best practices to help ensure every member can contribute meaningfully to the work of building a stronger, more inclusive Upper Darby. Also included in the handbook is any relevant information on the application process, meeting times, and contacts for staff liaisons.

Whether you're a current member, a new appointee, or simply curious about how local government works — this resource is for you!

The new Upper Darby Township Boards Handbook can be found at upperdarby.org/boards.
