Joplin City Council to honor volunteers who serve on boards and commissions

(From the City of Joplin)

With more than 25 Boards and Commissions, the City of Joplin appreciates the many citizens who volunteer to serve on these committees. Board members serve various term lengths, and sometimes serve several terms to help review City projects, plans and proposals.

On Monday, April 2, during the Joplin City Council meeting, Council members will recognize those citizens who have completed their terms this past year. Members will receive a recognition plaque and a thank you gift for their service.

This year the citizens being recognized and their years of service on a City Board include:

Some boards may have specific requirements for its members. Applications are kept on file for one year. The City Council makes appointments to these organizations on an as needed basis.

Each of the 25 boards represents a specific area of City government, and citizens may designate which board(s) they are applying to offer their service.
