Do you want a voice in the issues facing your community? Volunteer
by Mark Jenkins
All too often, people believe that the only active role they can have in their government is in the voting booth or in elected office. This is not true. The fact is that you do not have to be elected to have an important voice in the discussions and decisions that take place in our cities, counties and state every day.
The State of Minnesota, as well as most counties and cities have advisory boards, commissions and committees made up of citizen’s like you. Unfortunately for our state and local governments, too few citizens know about these opportunities and many of these committees are understaffed. Fortunately for you, there are multiple openings for you to explore amongst city, county and state committees. Here are just a few websites to check out for an opportunity to serve your community.
Please check out your county and city websites for opportunities near you.
