INC NEWS - City Boards, Committees, and Commissions: Consider Applying

[Mike Woodard]

If you are interested in making Durham city government better and can 
devote a few hours a month to that effort, please consider applying 
to one of the boards, committees, or commissions that advise city and 
county government. There are a number of openings now. Some of these 
groups carry a lot of weight in terms of policy, while others help 
advise the staff and administration on important day-to-day operations.

If you have special skills or a particular interest in one of these 
groups, visit the City's website (www.durhamnc.gov) for more 
information and for steps on applying.
