Applications are now open for appointments to seven City of Piedmont Commissions or Committees.
Serving in these volunteer positions is an excellent way to learn more about the inner workings of City government and to help keep Piedmont moving forward.
At Commission or Committee meetings, you’d hear reports from City staff about current and proposed services, policies, and programs and help shape the direction they take by providing valuable insight and resident perspectives. Learn more about the work Commissioners do by watching past meetings on the City’s online video archive.
Apply online at piedmont.ca.gov/Commissioner. Applications are due by 5pm on Friday, March 15. Mandatory in-person interviews will be held the evening of Monday, March 25.
