How Can You Give Back to the Ankeny Community?
The city is taking applications now from residents who want to volunteer to serve on boards and commissions.
From a City of Ankeny News Release
The City of Ankeny is accepting applications for various boards and commissions, with most terms starting in the first quarter of 2013.
“Boards and commissions play an important role in advising the city council on matters of interest to our community and its future,” said City Clerk Pam DeMouth in a news release.
Information about city boards and commission is available on the city website along with an online application or by contacting the city clerk’s office at 515.965.6405.
Though the City of Ankeny accepts applications year round from people interested in serving the community, a deadline of Nov. 15 has been set for 2013 appointments. Some boards and commissions may require compliance with the State of Iowa Gender Balance Law.
Qualified applicants will be interviewed by the mayor and the department director overseeing that board or commission, followed by official appointment by the mayor/council.
