The City of Burlington citizen committees provide Council and staff with input about a wide variety of subjects through discussions, presentations and recommendations. Some committees also organize and participate in community events. The City encourages citizens who represent the diverse backgrounds of our community to participate on these committees.
Becoming a member of a citizen committee or board offers residents a unique chance to volunteer their highly valued skills and to strengthen our shared sense of community.
