Redmond, WA – The City of Redmond has two openings on the Human Services Commission for anyone who lives or works in Redmond. The City is looking for candidates interested in a broad spectrum of human services issues including basic needs, health care, counseling, domestic violence, and family support.

The Commission’s role is to advise the Mayor and Council on general human services issues and to make specific funding recommendations as part of the City’s budget process every two years. Desirable qualities of a commissioner include a strong interest in the issues, a willingness to learn and a passion for working to strengthen the City’s effectiveness in addressing these issues. Please note that individuals who work for, or serve on the board of directors of a human services agency delivering services to city residents are not eligible for consideration.

The seven-member Commission meets on the second Monday of each month from 6:30 - 8:30 p.m. in the Council Conference Room, Redmond City Hall. All board and commission members are volunteers.

To learn more about the commission or to apply, please go to http://www.redmond.gov/Government/BoardsCommissions/, click on “Community Service Application” and submit a completed online application. There is no deadline, but interested individuals are encouraged to apply by 5:00 p.m. on April 12, 2019. The position will remain open until filled.
