Applications are now being accepted for all current and upcoming vacancies on many of the City's boards, commissions and advisory committees. Please submit your application by April 30, 2024 to be considered during our annual appointment period.
The Cedar Rapids City Council appoints hundreds of community volunteers to serve as members of the City's various boards, commissions, committees and task forces. These volunteer groups are a large portion of the support system for our City government.
All of the City's boards and commissions play a critical role in public policy development, implementation and review for the City Council. These groups serve an important function in molding decisions for our community, acting as the voice of the residents and providing stewardship of the City's assets.
Membership on each board or commission requires varying qualifications. A majority of members must be residents and qualified electors of the City of Cedar Rapids.
VIEW REQUIREMENTS
