Advisory Board Vacancies - The City of Corvallis seeks input and advice from the public through a network of policy advisory boards, task forces, committees, and work groups. Participants are typically community members interested in making an impact on a particular policy topic or area of service. Time commitments vary, from regular monthly meetings on long-term policy topics, to short-term task forces that work for a few months on a specific issue and then conclude their work.
