The City of Newburyport Boards, Commissions & Volunteer Fair

On Thursday, May 9, 2024 from 6 – 7:30 p.m. in the City Hall Auditorium, the City of Newburyport will hold its annual Boards, Commissions & Volunteer Fair. Attendees will be able to “shop” the City’s 28 all-volunteer Boards and Commissions and look for opportunities to volunteer.  Representatives of each organization will be on hand for one-on-one conversations about the work they do, the agenda for the near future and how the attendees’ talent, time and interests might be best engaged. Representatives of the City’s Boards and Commissions will also provide important information on how the application and appointment process works.

“These volunteers play a large role in keeping Newburyport moving forward. It’s a great way to give back to your community and put your talents and skills toward making Newburyport even better,” Mayor Reardon said. “I believe our administration has done a good job in finding new, talented residents to sit on the city’s many boards and commissions, and we’re always looking to add more.”

Members from the below list of Boards, Commissions, and Advisory Committees will be present, and the public is invited to join and learn more about all of these organizations.
