I’m looking for interested, motivated residents to serve on several Contra Costa County citizen advisory boards.

COMMISSIONS
First 5, Children and Families Commission – Alternate Seat
Alcohol and Other Drugs Advisory Seat
County Aviation Advisory Board
Family and Children's Trust Committee
Library Commission
Mental Health Commission – Consumer Seat

MUNICIPAL ADVISORY COUNCILS
El Sobrante Municipal Advisory Council (must live in unincorporated El Sobrante)
Kensington Municipal Advisory Council – alternate seat (must live in Kensington)
North Richmond Municipal Advisory Council (must live in N. Richmond)

For more information about each board go to the Contra Costa County website (www.co.contra-costa.ca.us) click on Board of Supervisors, then on Board Advisory Bodies. You'll find a scroll-down list with specifics on all County Advisory Boards, including a staff contact person. You'll also find an application that can be downloaded and printed.
