The City of Wauwatosa has about 30 committees, commissions, and boards that provide input to the City Council and help enhance Wauwatosa. Public involvement is crucial to our decision-making process and is a valued part of our government. By bringing new ideas to the table and representing all of the diverse elements of our community, members of our boards, commissions, and committees help us make informed decisions.

The people currently in these seats may express a desire to continue in their role. Other people may express interest in serving on those seats and would be considered for appointment. The Mayor is responsible for appointing and/or re-appointing citizen members to serve on boards. All appointments are confirmed by the Common Council.

If you’re interested in serving, please submit your name for consideration on our meeting portal. (Look for the button that says "Apply for vacant positions.) It is a rolling application process, so we will be in contact as positions are available.
