Boards & Commissions

Boards and Commissions are an important component of Lubbock government. Members have an opportunity to affect public policy, gain access to the highest levels of City government, and to develop networks. Members of Boards and Commissions are appointed by the City Council. Any citizen interested in serving on a Board should access the application on our Boards & Commissions Application website. In addition to submitting a completed application, it would also be helpful to notify the Mayor, a Council member, staff liaison or an Appointments Advisory Board Member of your interest.

The City Council encourages participation of qualified citizens and is committed to cultural diversity on all Boards and Commissions. Questions regarding Board and Commission service should be directed to the Office of the City Secretary at (806) 775-2028.
