About Boards, Commissions, and Committees
Serve on a Committee
The City of Conway is seeking applications for individuals to serve on over 15 boards and commissions. The City of Conway established boards, commissions, and committees to advise the Mayor and City Council on various interests, from Planning to Historic District to Public Art and more.
All persons seeking membership on any board, commission, or committee must be Conway residents, and some commissions have additional membership requirements.
The City of Conway values the contributions of residents and stakeholders in our decisions, and we are committed to identifying and recruiting the best candidates to serve our community. The Mayor relies on their thoughtful advice to create policies and develop programs.
What Serving Will Mean
The city’s Committees, Boards, and Commissions all vary in their time commitments and requirements for serving. An enabling state statute, city ordinance, or Executive Order often sets forth the board size, membership criteria, and other requirements.
Read over the specific webpage of each board, or you can visit the City of Conway’s YouTube page to watch each board, commission, or committee you are interested in participating in.
