Some of the commissions have special requirements, and some do not fully explain what is involved. I like the idea of developing some type of description of what is required. Also, while there are often openings on Boards and Commissions, several are highly competitive and get a lot of applications. The GADC Board for example, gets a lot of applications for only a couple spots. My advice, keep trying, and keep looking for those opportunities which match your passions.

The County could definitely provide more information as to what they're looking for in a candidate. I know a couple of young professionals who applied for vacancies last year and were denied. Are there ways we can assist people in finding openings that they could feasibly be accepted for?
