Apply to Serve on the City Events & Recognitions Committee

A recent review of City of Tacoma citizen committees, boards, and commissions led to the creation at the May 7 City Council meeting of a new City Events and Recognitions Committee.  The new CERC needs nine new members from around Tacoma, representing all five Council Districts and a range of perspectives and expertise focused on the City’s commitment to celebrating civic engagement and special observations.  

The City Events and Recognitions Committee will serve in an advisory and support role on City-hosted events and special recognition programs like Tacoma’s Martin Luther King Jr Day celebration and the City of Destiny awards.  The CERC will be responsible for planning, reviewing and evaluating events, engaging the community in fundraising efforts, and soliciting corporate and private sponsorships to leverage funds for City-hosted events.  

Applicants must be residents of Tacoma.  Applications due by Friday, June 21.  Find out more and apply on the City website.

If you like a good civic celebration, and enjoy the challenge of organizational change, this seems like a kind of unique opportunity to be a part of something…
