The City of Grand Junction is searching for volunteers for three more Community Board positions. This is your chance to get involved and "help shape the future of our community" by volunteering with one of these open boards.

We published a post about a few weeks ago regarding the City of GJ's search for volunteers to fill four vacant positions. Here it is a few weeks later, and a number of new opportunities have become available. Have you ever given this possibility any thought?

According to gjcity.org, "Citizen participation at all levels of the governmental process is valued and encouraged." One effective way to get involved is through service on a volunteer board.

This is an opportunity to get involved. These three new positions look interesting. I'm thinking about applying for the Historic Preservation Board. My family has lived in the Grand Junction area for generations. Maybe I can be of service. How about you? It goes without saying you have something to offer. Why not?
