Sitting on a Board or Committee

Term length can range from one to three years, depending on the vacancy that is open. Time commitments vary depending on the board and committee. For example, some boards and committees only meet when required, whereas others meet on a monthly basis for approximately three to four hours. Apply to be on a Board or Committee.
