Several positions across multiple boards and committees in the city of Plano are available and the city is calling for residents to become civic leaders.
According to the city of Plano website, most of the standing board, commission and committees appointments are made between July and September during the annual process, although applicants can be submitted at any time and be considered for the position, should an opening occur at a different time during the year.
