City looking to fill 25 open Boards, Commissions and Authority seats by March 1

[Duluth, MN] The City of Duluth has 25 openings on various boards and commissions to fill by March 1, 2022. Over 250 volunteers are currently serving on 30 Boards, Commissions, and Authorities, helping to make crucial decisions.

"Board and commission members are uniquely positioned to foster innovative ideas, help drive community-based solutions, and make recommendations to City staff and elected officials while growing your leadership," said Alicia Kozlowski, Community Relations Officer. "Not only do we need you, but we also want you - your time, energy, knowledge, skills, and lived experiences have a home here. The impact of the volunteers is significant and helps create a transparent and accessible government."

Boards, Commissions, and Authorities vary on topics and interest areas. The governed groups focus on libraries, parking, disabilities, parks and recreation, housing, and beyond.

Vacancies include:

-          Civil Service Board (2)

-          Community Development Committee (1)

-          Commission on Disabilities (1)

-          Duluth African Heritage Commission (6)

-          Duluth Airport Authority (1)

-          Duluth Economic Development Authority (1)

-          NQT2SLGBIA Commission (2)

-          Duluth Parking Commission (3)

-          Indigenous Commission (1)

-          Natural Resources Commission (1)

-          Parks and Recreation Commission (1)

-          Special Board of Review (1)

-          Spirit Mountain Recreation Area Authority (2)

"People choose to live here, to move here, for work and play. They choose to be engaged and informed,” Kozlowski said. “We know that when people are able to participate, we are a better government serving its residents. One of the best ways to get involved is through City of Duluth Boards, Commissions, and Authorities.”
