Boards & Commissions
Citizen volunteer boards and commissions help our Village plan for the future, review development proposals, and provide community input on important local issues. These groups are made up of residents who serve the community by sharing their experience, ideas, and perspectives. Serving on a board or commission is a great way to get involved in local government and help shape the future of Alexandria.
Volunteer boards and commissions provide specialized knowledge and advice to help guide Village decisions.
