The City of Cedar Rapids is accepting applications from Cedar Rapids residents for current and upcoming vacancies on many City boards, commissions, and advisory committees. These advisory groups can be valuable community assets and effective partners with the Mayor, City Council, and City staff in guiding the future of our community.

The City is committed to ensuring that all boards, commissions, and advisory committees reflect the wide array of perspectives that contribute to our community. Representation from individuals with varied backgrounds and experiences is essential in building a community that serves and represents everyone's needs. We encourage all qualified individuals to apply.

Learn how you can apply by visiting the City's website at CityofCR.com/Boards-Commissions. The Mayor and City Council will have the ability to review the applications. All applications are kept on file for one year.

Any person who anticipates needing modifications for any part of the process or has general questions, please contact the City Clerk's Office at (319) 286-5060 or by e-mail at [email protected]. Applications are due by April 30, 2026.
