The Community Board Application Workshop runs from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m. It covers what community boards are, the role they play in city governance, the application process and what members are responsible for once they join.
Community boards are the grassroots level of city government, where residents weigh in on local issues from housing and transit to sanitation and city services. Each of Brooklyn’s boards is a volunteer body that advises on land use, the city budget and municipal services in its district.
New York City residents ages 16 and older are eligible to apply for a board seat.
The session is hosted by the office of Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso, which appoints community board members across the borough. Carol-Ann Church, in Reynoso’s office, circulated the workshop flyer to district managers and invited them to schedule additional workshops in their own districts.
Residents can find the workshop details and application information at bit.ly/CBBK.
