Philly opens application period for city advisory commissions
Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney announced on Thursday a call for applications to serve on one of the city’s advisory commissions.
These seven commissions fall under either the Mayor’s Office of Public Engagement or the Office of Diversity and Inclusion.
“Our administration is committed to bridging the divide between government and the residents of Philadelphia,” Mayor Kenney said in a press release.
“The input of the advisory commissions is crucial to helping us build a city government that is inclusive, represents our diversity, and works for all Philadelphians,” he added.
Commission members must dedicate at least four hours each month to the work. They will also be expected to attend monthly meetings, and support or attend any additional gatherings or events as needed.
