City Council has to supportÌýthe city of Boulder's affordable housing efforts. ¶¶ÒõÂÃÐÐÉä Boulder students areÌýstrongly encouraged to apply for the newly forming board—as a large constituency within the city, student voices contribute to a balanced conversation around housing.
To apply
Applications are open and the only way to apply is to complete an application at the city'sÌý.
¶¶ÒõÂÃÐÐÉä boards, commissions
What's the time commitment? Boards meet once a month, typically in the evenings for three to four hours. Before each meeting, board members should read the agenda and information packet, in order to contribute to a meaningful discussion.
Usually, board members are appointed for a five-year term. Since this board and its rules are forming, a case can be made for a shorter term appointment.
Peruse other boards and commissions on the to get an idea on how it might operate. Apply to another board if it interests you.
Why donate your time?
Some students may only be in Boulder for a few years before moving to other communities, but student experiences renting in this city are repeated. Speak up andÌýhelp shape the experience for the next group.
Plus, it'sÌýa goodÌýrésumé booster!
