City government is the shared responsibility of elected officials, staff, and the many citizens who serve on the various boards, commissions and committees. Some board, commission or committee seats require City residency, designated skills, or specific training.
There is a wide range of boards, commissions and committees on which citizens of our area can serve. The participation of citizens in City of Wilmington government takes many forms and is an integral part of the decision-making process used in improving city services to residents.
