Every township has an advisory board so it does not matter if you live in Russell Township, Franklin Township, Jackson Township, Clinton Township, Monroe Township, Floyd Township, Madison Township, Greencastle Township, Marion Township, Washington Township, Warren Township, Jefferson Township, or Cloverdale Township. You can run for Township Trustee!
