A Board or Commission seat is an excellent first step in government leadership!

WIRE's Karen Schwarz interviews Lauren Segal, currently serving on Palo Alto Utilities Advisory Commission, about Boards and Commissions, why they are important, and the application process.

Watch this moderated panel discussion (Oct. 21) of what commissions do and how to apply.  Panelists share their insights on how to prepare for interviews and successfully be appointed. 

If you are considering pursuing an appointed office (and you should!), please review the information available on your city or county's website.*
