Make a Difference: Serve on a Board or Committee

 
Serving on a board or committee is an excellent opportunity to share your skills, expertise and to give back to your community.

Every year, during Council's Organizational meeting citizens are appointed to over 40 boards and committees. These boards and committees are established by Council through bylaws and may be delegated certain duties such as providing advice to Council on a range of municipal issues that help shape our community.  Find the agenda for the October 25, 2021 Organizational meeting here: clearwatercounty.civicweb.net/Portal/Default.aspx

  • Standing Council Committees: A permanent council committee
  • Ad Hoc Committee: A short-term committee established to serve a specific purpose
