The city of Vancouver will accept applications for openings on 13 Boards and Commissions through Sept. 30.

“Boards and Commissions give our community a direct voice in shaping the policies that impact Vancouver’s livability, health, safety and future,” said Mayor Anne McEnerny-Ogle. “You don’t need a long resume or political experience, just a passion for this city and a desire to help shape its future.”

Join the City from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 9, at the Cascade Community Park Library at 600 N.E. 136th Ave. Drop in for sandwiches and refreshments, and chat with current City commissioners and staff. No RSVP required. All are welcome.
