Serve your city:  Apply to be on a Tempe Board or Commission

Tempe’s Boards and Commissions make important recommendations to the Tempe City Council about all aspects of Tempe. You could play a key role in our city.

There are 28 Boards and Commissions, each connected to an area of special interest, such arts and culture, sustainability, veterans’ programs and more. Meet neighbors with similar interests and help shape the future of your city. It only takes a few hours a month to serve.

There will be 50 openings on 16 Boards and Commissions that need to be filled before the end of the year.  We need your help!  The Aviation Commission; Family Justice Commission; Human Relations Commission; Library Advisory Board; Neighborhood Advisory Commission; Risk Management Trust Board; and Technical Code Advisory Board of Appeals are especially in need of applications.

Those interested should apply by filling out the Board and Commission Application by November 12th to be considered for appointment at the December 19th Council meeting. 

Questions? The City Clerk's Office can be reached at (480) 350-4311 or clerk@tempe.gov, Mon. – Fri., 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., except on City holidays.
