It is the responsibility of the Mayor of Evanston to review applications and recommend appointments to Boards, Committees and Commissions. All applications are kept on file for consideration when openings occur. Application forms are presented to the City Council. After Council approval, citizens begin their service to our community. Attempts are made to make appointments that represent the diverse population of Evanston.

Applications are considered by the Mayor on the basis of: (a) Openings (b) Date received and (c) qualifications for the appointment sought.

Thank you for your interest.
