City Council Advisory Board Roles for 2024

The City of Burien is actively recruiting residents for 11 open positions on its advisory boards, commissions, and committees for the year 2024. This initiative provides a unique opportunity for community members to engage directly in shaping local laws and policies. Interested individuals can submit their applications until February 2, 2024, at 5 p. m. , with interviews scheduled for February and March during special City Council meetings.

Each advisory board plays a vital role in discussing significant community issues, gathering public input, and making recommendations to the City Council. For instance, the Arts Commission focuses on enhancing artistic activities in Burien, while the Business and Economic Development Partnership addresses local economic growth. These boards not only influence legislation but also serve as a platform for residents to volunteer their expertise and insights. By participating, members contribute to the planning and future development of their communities. This outreach effort reflects Burien's commitment to fostering civic engagement and ensuring diverse voices are heard in local governance.
