On Wednesday, November 20, 2024, 48th District Court Judge Diane D’Agostini performed the official swearing-in of representatives elected to serve on the Bloomfield Township Board of Trustees. The Township Hall Ceremony aired live via local Comcast, WOW, AT&T's Uverse and streamed via Video on Demand.
In brief remarks before the ceremony, Judge D’Agostini shared, “It is an honor and a privilege to serve this community.” She added, “This work is challenging, with times filled with joy and times filled with hardship. Let us always respect the extreme privilege and trust that residents have put in our decision making.”
