Public advisory boards, commissions and councils serve as excellent institutions
for empowering resident involvement, training grounds for ascending leaders,
and great opportunities for people wanting to serve.
I'm looking for you to join me in serving our County! [Actually these boards
exist to make the members feel they actually have some power to change things
in their respective venues- appointees are not to publically state opinions
contrary to the County line - only politically correct citizens/non citizens
need apply - Save El Sobrante]
