Batavia, Ohio. Are you passionate about transportation? Do you have a unique background that would make you an asset in emergency planning? The Board of Clermont County Commissioners invites you to visit the Web site www.ClermontCountyOhio.gov to find out about the many volunteer opportunities that exist in the county to serve on boards, commissions, and committees. “We encourage citizens to fill out an application to be considered for these positions that are critically important to Clermont County,” said Clermont Board of Commissioners (BCC) President Ed Humphrey.
A list of BCC-appointed boards, commissions, and committees are available online, along with brief descriptions of the purpose of the committees, meeting dates and times, and terms of service.
“Commissioners must appoint representatives to dozens of committees that advise county departments and agencies, such as Clermont Transportation Connection, the Convention and Visitors Bureau, and the Department of Job and Family Services,” said Commissioner Scott Croswell. “With so many new people moving into the area, we want to make sure that everyone knows that these opportunities exist. We welcome all applications.”
Applications can be filled out for any of the boards or committees listed on the Web site. When an opening occurs, the BCC will review the applications that are on file and contact those individuals that meet the qualifications for the position.
“This is a great opportunity for citizens of all ages to get involved in their government and truly help make a difference in our community,” added Commissioner Bob Proud. For more information visit the Web site www.ClermontCountyOhio.gov or call (513) 732-7300.
