Time to Get Involved!
As residents of Arizona we have have many opportunities to participate in state and local government. One vital role of citizens in government is to volunteer as a board or commission member for the State or at the local level for the city of Phoenix. People on these panels provide advice and guidance to policy-makers on a wide variety of issues, and get the opportunity to meet people and make professional and other connections.
State Board or Commission
The Governor's Office provides an online application for residents interested in participating on a state board or commission. There are over 300 active state boards and commissions in Arizona with gubernatorial appointees. These boards cover topics from education to the environment. More information about how to become a member of a state board or commission is available at http://azgovernor.gov/bc/BCinfo.asp.
Phoenix Board or Commission
If service at the local level is more appealing, Phoenix currently has more than 60 Boards and Commissions, found at http://phoenix.gov/phxd/bdcomm/index.jsp, whose members are appointed by the Mayor and city council members. Learn how to apply to serve on a board or commission at http://phoenix.gov/CITYGOV/bdcomm.html#HOW. An online application is available at http://phoenix.gov/EMAIL/appbdcom.html.
