There are numerous Boards and Commissions, comprised primarily of volunteers appointed either in whole or part, by the Board of Supervisors, which advise the Board on County operations and related policy issues or have designated independent responsibilities.

Persons with an interest in any of these policy areas should contact the office of the Board of Supervisors about possible vacancies and the application process. Notices of Vacancies are posted at the County Library and the County Clerk's office and published in the Appeal Democrat.
