Boards & Committees
We are blessed with dedicated, professional citizens willing to share their time and talents to enhance our community better. The City boards and committees allow citizens to become involved in the governance of their city in an area that appeals to their interests. Citizens are appointed to the boards and committees by Council in December for the following year or as vacancies allow. If you are interested in serving on a board or committee, please complete the attached application and return it to the City Manager's Office in person or via email.
Other volunteer opportunities also exist within the City. These are not Council appointed but are essential in assisting with tasks in various City Departments or community efforts. Contact the City Manager's Office at 937-754-3030 or by email for more details. For a list of current vacancies within our Board and Committees, please see the following document: current vacancies.
