SERVE ON A BOARD OR COMMISSION

Members of the Berkeley community can participate in local government by applying to serve on a board or commission. Members of boards and commissions advise the City Council on a wide variety of subjects by making recommendations on important policy matters.

Almost all boards and commissions require that commissioners reside in Berkeley.

A few commissions require specific experience in a technical field or have other qualifying criteria. These commissions have specific application forms listed in the application section below.

City of Berkeley employees are not eligible to serve as commissioners.
