Call: Minneapolis Boards & Commissions
From Ward 7 City Council Office:
Minneapolis is seeking passionate community members to serve on its boards and commissions, helping shape the policies and programs that affect every neighborhood. Applications are open March 1-31.
While we encourage people to apply for any of the boards that interest them, there are four boards that are currently seeking representation specifically from Ward 7: the Minneapolis Arts Commission, the Minneapolis Advisory Committee on Aging, the Minneapolis Advisory Committee on Housing, and the Public Health Advisory Committee.
One of the City’s most visible boards is the Minneapolis Arts Commission. Members of the Arts Commission play a critical role in guiding public art across the city. Members advise on public art works funded by public dollars, serve on artist selection panels, and review recommendations from the Public Art Advisory Panel. By joining, you can help ensure Minneapolis continues to be a vibrant, creative and inspiring city for everyone.
Other recruiting boards and commissions include:
Homegrown Minneapolis Food Council to grow and strengthen the local food system.
Minneapolis Workforce Development Board to connect people to jobs and strengthen the local workforce.
Safe and Thriving Work Group to advise on community safety and support restorative, non-police solutions.
Community Commission on Police Oversight (seat open in Ward 9) to ensure accountability, transparency and trust in policing.
Advisory committees on aging, bicycling, housing, people with disabilities, public health and walking. Help shape City policies that improve daily life.
Serving on a board or commission is a unique opportunity to make a difference in your community, bring your expertise and ideas to City leadership, and collaborate with fellow residents who care about the future of Minneapolis.
