The City of Tacoma has a number of volunteer Committees, Boards, Commissions and Authorities that advise and make recommendations to the City Council and/or City staff. You can only serve on one Committee, Board or Commission at a time. 

While member applications for the City of Tacoma’s Committees, Boards and Commissions continue to be accepted at any point throughout the year, the City Clerk's Office now issues a push for member applications once every quarter.
