How to Join a Board or Commission

Eligibility

You must be a Fairfax resident of at least 18 years of age to apply,  except for the Open Space and Volunteer Board, which require residency within the 94930 zip code area.  There are youth memberships available for persons under the age of 18. You are also expected to attend at least one meeting of the committee to which you are applying.

Application and Appointment Process

The first step is to attend a meeting of the committee in which you are interested.

To apply, submit an official application form to the Town Clerk.  Applications are available online and at the front counter of Town Hall.

Applications are reviewed by the Town Council. All applicants are interviewed by the Town Council at a special meeting. Appointments are made by a formal vote of the Council.
