Are You Available to Serve?
The City of Arlington is proud to announce the formation of its first
Community Relations Commission.
This Commission was created to work with the City Council to help
identify programs and opportunities that build more positive
relationships in communities throughout the city. It was established by
city ordinance on Dec. 1, 2009.
Members will serve as ambassadors on Council-directed issues such as
increasing civic involvement, fostering understanding among all persons
in the city and encouraging historically underrepresented businesses to
compete for city contracting opportunities.
Fostering positive relations with diverse populations will help build
stronger relationships with the community we serve. We need you!
How can you apply?
Applications are now being accepted online at
www.arlingtontx.gov/boards.
Nine members will be appointed to serve two-year terms beginning in
2010. Selection will be diverse and based on a number of factors
including race, gender and ethnicity. We are seeking applications from
the following racial groups as defined by the U.S. census: White, Black
or African American, American Indian or Alaskan Native, Asian, Hispanic
or Latino, Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander.
The City of Arlington encourages diversity on all boards and
commissions. Most boards and commissions function in advisory
capacities, and some have final decision-making authority. Some may even
require specialized experiences and licensing. See the complete listing
of city boards and commissions on our website or call my office at
817.459.6122 for assistance.
To learn more about the new Community Relations Commission, contact
Workforce Services Director Joyce Williams at 817.459.6869 or e-mail her
at Joyce.Williams@arlingtontx.gov.
On behalf of the Arlington City Council, we thank you for your support
and continued involvement in our city.
