Applicants for Community Champions Network

Edmonds, WALocal News

The City of Edmonds is actively recruiting applicants for its new Community Champions Network Initiative, an essential component of the 2024 Comprehensive Plan Update. This initiative underscores the city’s commitment to inclusivity and aims to integrate diverse community perspectives into local planning. By forming a network of five to nine community liaisons, primarily sourced from local organizations, the city seeks to foster meaningful engagement from underrepresented groups.

The role is compensated, requiring a commitment of approximately four hours per month.

Interested individuals must submit their applications by 5 PM on February 12, 2024, to be considered for this impactful opportunity. For additional information, the city provides resources on its Community Champions webpage. This initiative represents a significant step towards transparent and accessible civic engagement in Edmonds.
