Boards and Commissions
Membership on Vienna's boards and commissions provides citizens the opportunity to become actively involved in Town affairs. Applications for appointment are available in the Town Clerk's Office at Town Hall. Call 703-255-6303.
The Town Council interviews each applicant and evaluates his or her interests, education, philosophy and work experience according to the functions of the board or commission on which a vacancy exists. Many members of Council believe it is desirable to have all areas of town represented and to encompass diverse philosophies and points of view, although applicants should be in general agreement with Town policies and objectives.

will be sent to the applicant, and revisions must then be resubmitted on or before the next filing deadline date for review at the next available staff review date.
