Fayetteville residents are encouraged to apply for upcoming vacancies for the City’s boards and commissions.  

Boards and commissions are made up of volunteers appointed by City Council to serve as advisors who help shape Fayetteville's policies and programs. This is a great way for residents to engage in their community.

Some boards may require appointees to have a special license or meet certain professional requirements.
