The First Step to Leadership: Tapping Into Local Committees and Commissions

Please join us for an engaging conversation about the vital role local committees and commissions play in shaping community leadership. Notable elected and appointed officials from Marin County will share their own journeys into public service, including how serving on commissions helped pave the way, and highlight the essential work these groups do to address local needs. 

Want to make a difference in your community? Local commissions and committees are often the first and most accessible path to public service. In this conversation, a group of local commissioners and elected officials will discuss how these roles work, why they matter, and how we can bring new and diverse voices into the process.
