Boards & Commissions Application

Applying to serve on a Wyandotte County Board or Commission is a great way to get involved!

Join a Board or Commission

Becoming a member of a Board or Commission is an excellent way for citizens to participate in the decision-making process of city government. It allows them to share their personal and professional knowledge and make a meaningful impact. The Unified Government (UG) has several Advisory Boards and Commissions comprising community volunteers. Each volunteer serves for a specific term of two to four years, as prescribed by state statute, ordinance, or resolution.

Appointments to many boards are made directly by the Board of Commissioners. Apply for Commissioner appointments below.
