Our recent experience with the Board of Ethics appointment process and the interest DeKalb citizens showed in applying for that board led us to question how other County boards are being appointed and how citizens are being educated about and engaged with County government through these boards. What we have found so far indicates little public attention is being paid to these boards by either County officials or DeKalb citizens. Right now we have more questions than answers about how these boards are appointed and how they function. While we move forward with our research on this topic, we encourage you to review the overview of County boards that we have created.
Disclaimer: Information on vacancies and expired terms contained in the overview came from an official DeKalb County Government website. The County maintains this site and is responsible for any updates as membership and terms of service. DCAC makes no claims as to the accuracy of board/commission data for vacancies or expired terms.
If you are interested in serving on any of the boards, we encourage you to follow the instructions below to access the board’s information and to apply. We would also advise sending a copy of the application with a letter of interest to your commissioner.This overview of County boards outlines the boards that exist, who currently is assigned to serves on those boards, and the number of vacancies or expired terms.
