Annoucements

Councilmember Nora Campos strongly encourages Council District Five residents to apply for City of San José Boards and Commissions.

City boards and commissions were established for the purpose of advising the City Council and providing ongoing input into policies and issues affecting the future of the San José community. All persons seeking membership on a board or commission must be San José residents and some commissions have additional membership requirements.

Most applications will be reviewed and applicants interviewed by the Project Diversity Screening Committee. Applicants are appointed by the City Council. Members are usually appointed for a three-year term.
