Membership

Salt Lake City is always looking for potential members to serve on the City’s twenty-five boards and commissions. Each board has a different culture, mission, and need and Salt Lake City encourages you to explore and learn a little more about each board prior to applying. Please note, Salt Lake City receives a large number of applications for certain boards and far fewer for others. Listing a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd choice can significantly speed up the appointment process

Appointment Process Once a board position is available and the decision to appoint has been determined, the complete process can take as long as five or six weeks. During the appointment process, potential board members will briefly meet with the Mayor and City Council. To ensure a strong board, Salt Lake City often recruits many applicants before a decision to appoint is made. To find the status of your application, please contact Holly Hilton at 535-7787.
