Boards & Commissions Vacancies

To apply for a volunteer position on a City of Lake Oswego board, commission or committee, please visit the application link above. 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 to set up a virtual interview time in June. All applicants will be interviewed and all interviews will be held virtually.

In early 2019, the City transitioned to an annual recruitment for all boards and commissions.  Our hope is that with this single annual effort and a larger marketing outreach, we will create a greater awareness to attract and engage more members of our community.   

Lake Oswego is a safe, caring, and respectful community - all are encouraged to apply!  Please see below for a list of openings that we will be interviewing members of the community to serve in.

Terms dates will coincide with the fiscal year with a start date of July 1 and an end date of June 30.

All members of the Development Review Commission, Planning Commission, and Historic Resources Advisory Board are required to file an Annual Verified Statement of Economic Interest with the Oregon Government Ethics Commission.  Additional information is available from the OGEC. 

Please see the Summaries and Meeting Times document for a brief description of each committee, meeting times and information.
