Recruitment Overview
City Council appoints citizens to over 25 boards and encourages those with a desire to share their talent, time and skills to serve as members of agencies, boards and commissions.
Interested in serving on a board? Follow these simple steps:
- Take a look at the opportunities outlined on the Current Recruitment Campaigns page.
- Choose the board you have an interest in (or up to three boards).
- Review the qualifications for each board.
- Complete and submit an application and any other documents required for the board you are interested in. If applying to more than one, submit a separate application for each board and state your order of preference, as citizens may only serve on one Civic Agency at a time. City Policy C475A
If you have any trouble meeting the deadline date, or wish to confirm receipt of your application, please call the Civic Agencies Coordinator.
General Information:
- Most board opportunities are volunteer; however a few do offer remuneration because of their responsiblities and required time commitment.
- Preference is given to residents of Edmonton.
- New for 2011 -- Bio Form -- citizens appointed to an agency, board or commission will be asked to provide a brief introduction of themselves for inclusion in the City Council minutes.
- Most appointments are for one year, renewable for up to six consecutive years.
- Prior to reappointment, board members are evaluated. Attachment 3 to City Policy C476C, Appointments to Civic Agencies outlines the basic evaluation criteria.
