Boards & Commissions Vacancies

Beginning on April 1, the City will move to an annual recruitment for all boards and commissions.  The application period will last 8 weeks and citizens have the option to declare their interest in serving on more than one board or commission, increasing their chances of being selected.  Our hope is that with this single annual effort and a larger marketing reach, we will create a greater awareness to attract and engage more members of our community.

To apply for a volunteer position on a City of Lake Oswego board, commission, or committee, please follow the link below to the application for your area of interest. The application is designed to be completed online and is submitted by clicking the submit button at the end of the form. You will receive confirmation of receipt on the webpage immediately, and staff will be in touch regarding your application after the closing date.   

Please note that you may apply for more than one Board or Commission, but may only be appointed to serve on one Board or Commission at one time.

Lake Oswego is a safe, caring, and respectful community - all are encouraged to apply!  Applications are due Friday, May 31st.

Interviews will take place on Saturday, June 8th, with official appointments made by council on July 2nd.  All terms dates will coincide with the fiscal year with a start date of July 1 and end date of June 30.
