Mayor Brady is looking for volunteers to serve on Boards and Commissions.

The Japanese Sister City Committee has a lot of vacancies! The Citizens’ Beautification Committee has a lot of vacancies too.

Those are just 2 that wouldn’t require an extensive amount of time.

See the long list of City Boards and Commissions on the City website: https://www.bloomingtonil.gov/government/boards-commissions

Quote:

The City of Bloomington has opportunities for volunteer service on numerous standing Boards and Commissions, as well as occasional “ad hoc” committees that are formed for a limited term to consider a specific issue or project.

If you are interested in serving on one of the boards or commissions, please fill out the Online Application – Boards and Commissions (or Printable Application – Boards and Commissions and mail it to the Mayor’s Office, 115 E. Washington Street, Bloomington, IL 61701).
