Good news! The City of Waukee has extended the window to apply for boards and commissions. These volunteer groups of Waukee residents help to shape public policy and assist City Council and City staff in various advisory capacities, enabling our city to benefit from the knowledge of a wide range of community representatives.
We're looking for diverse experience and expertise, so we encourage residents of all genders and backgrounds to apply. If you have questions on time commitment, responsibilities, meeting times or anything else, contact communications@waukee.org. We're happy to answer questions or connect you with the staff liaison for the board you're interested in. Know someone who might be interested? Please encourage them to apply.
Learn more about these boards and apply at Waukee.org/BoardsAndCommissions.
