The Webster Groves City Council is on the hunt for civic-minded individuals eager to contribute to the community's development and well-being. Announced earlier this week, there are open positions on various boards and commissions that need to be filled by residents with a vested interest in the city's future.
Among the openings are spots on the Business Development Commission, which requires applicants to either own a business or property in the Old Orchard area. There is also the invitation to join the Green Space Advisory Commission and advisory commissions for both the Old Orchard and Old Webster Special Business Districts, with the requirement that members must own a business or property within those respective districts. The Police Community Engagement Board is looking to fill a vacancy with a resident member and another for a medical professional, who is skilled in dealing with issues that impact community or police officer well-being. Opportunities to serve also extend to the Traffic Advisory Commission and the Webster Groves Library Board, as detailed in a City of Webster Groves announcement.
These positions present a chance for community members to influence policies and programs central to the city's growth and quality of life. The commitment each member brings to their respective board or commission can lead to significant improvements in areas ranging from local business development to maintaining public green spaces. Serving on one of these boards is a way to ensure that community voices are heard in the decision-making process that directly affects them.
For those interested in applying, the Webster Groves City Council has made information available about each commission and their roles on their website. Applications and further details about the positions can also be found there.
