PRESS RELEASE Open Positions on Citizens Advisory Boards Letters of Interest Being Accepted

The City of Leavenworth is now accepting letters of interest for open positions on its citizen advisory boards, with a deadline of November 30, 2023. This initiative aims to enhance community representation, particularly through the newly proposed Housing Advisory Committee, which will consist of nine members, including two from the City Council.
