As Mayor, one of the key responsibilities defined in our City Charter is to make appointments to the City’s Boards & Commissions. I believe very strongly that our boards and commissions must reflect our growing and changing community while having the appropriate talent and expertise needed to successfully meet the challenges before it. With Council’s support, we have made significant strides toward that end over the last few years. I am committed to continuing that effort into the future.
As I interact with citizens on a daily basis, I am often asked how can people get involved or volunteer. One of my favorite responses is to encourage them to serve on a board or commission. This site will list all of the Boards & Commissions, outline their purpose, and anticipated time commitment. In addition, the City is hosting the second annual “Volunteer Fair” to provide you with an opportunity to meet the Board & Commission Chairs, hear personally about the work each board or commission is currently focused on or will be working on in the near future, and ask any questions you may have. My hope is that not only will you will attend the Volunteer Fair, but will complete an application to apply for the Boards & Commissions that most interest you. This Volunteer Fair will be held on Tuesday, July 16, 2019 from 6:30 p.m. - 8:00 p.m. at the Bastrop Convention Center. In addition, there will be more than 20 non-profit organizations represented as well who are also looking for volunteers to help them fulfill their mission and meet the needs of our citizens.
Again, I look forward to seeing you at the Volunteer Fair on July 16th!
