The Miami-Dade County Interfaith Advisory Board (IAB), which was established in 2020 as a platform to facilitate interfaith dialogue and to advise the Miami-Dade Board of County Commissioners on issues concerning various faith-based, religious, and spiritual communities, is calling for new members. According to details provided by the Miami-Dade County Government's official announcement, there are eight vacant seats in need of representatives from County Commission Districts 2, 3, 5, 7, 9, 10, 11, and 13.
Miami-Dade County residents with an interest in faith community issues may be eligible to join the IAB. However, members must fully commit to attending all IAB and subcommittee meetings. Residents outside the county can still serve if they obtain a waiver or required forms from the appointing Commissioner.
The role within IAB doesn't come with monetary compensation, but it does offer reimbursement for a very specific expense: parking in County leased or owned facilities. Spanning over a four-year term, the service is less about gaining financially and more about the contribution to fostering interfaith communication and cooperation.
Interested individuals can begin by contacting their County Commissioner to apply. The application process is ongoing, allowing residents to apply at their convenience, according to the Miami-Dade County Government.
