Asheville’s city commissions are an opportunity for ordinary citizens to shape city policy.
Commissioners are appointed by city council, and the next deadline for applications to council are coming up on Wed, Jan. 6th, 2010.
TEN commissions have openings, including sustainability, transit, and river redevelopment.
Listen to citizens and staff who have served on and with commissions to learn what is involved, and why or why not you might want to apply; and ask them questions.
