Community Members Encouraged to Serve Tacoma
on a Committee, Board or Commission 

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. 

Updates on vacancies are available – along with easy-to-follow instructions for hard copy and online applications – at cityoftacoma.org/cbc. If an applicant is not selected this quarter for the Committee, Board or Commission of his or her choice, his or her application will be kept on file for future consideration.

Hard copy application forms can also be requested by emailing servetacoma@cityoftacoma.org, or by calling 311 within Tacoma, (253) 591-5178 outside Tacoma, (800) 833-6388 (TTY or ASCII), (800) 833-6386 (VCO) or (877) 833-6341 (STS). 

Those wishing to help spread the word about Committee, Board or Commission vacancies can go to cityoftacoma.org/servetacoma for a member recruitment toolkit featuring video testimonials from community leaders on the importance of public service. The toolkit also offers downloadable flier, letterhead, postcard and slideshow templates.
