Local BoardsMembers of all Planning, Zoning, and Architectural Review Boards and CACs are appointed by the town or village board. County, town and village governments often also appoint advisory boards on local environmental issues, such as solid waste, recycling, and wetlands. Some towns or villages have a nominating committee that interviews interested citizens and makes recommendations to the governing board to fill vacancies. If you would like to serve on a board, you should inquire at your town or village hall to find out about your local appointment process and contact the appropriate people.
