Kansas City Mayor Sly James invites you to get involved in serving the City we call home. As part of his initiative to increase the number of Kansas Citians who participate in their government, today Mayor James announced he has made an on-line application for the City’s boards and commissions available.

“I applaud the service of everyone who has served our City. The talent and dedication exhibited by the outgoing board members and commissioners is a tribute to our residents. These are volunteer positions, and I know each of them has put in countless hours to make our City great. As we begin a new administration, I invite all Kansas Citians to consider pitching in and helping us move our City forward. This is a great chance to hear new ideas and shape exciting new possibilities. I urge everyone to consider applying and serving in these important roles,” said Mayor James.

It is an exciting time for Kansas City and you can be a part of it. The City has over 90 boards and commissions in which citizens can serve. Everyone wins with active citizen participation in government. Please consider giving your energy and time to the board or commission that best fits your background, interests and expertise.
