Boards and Committees

Councilmember Appointments

The City Council appoints members to serve as either voting members, non-voting members, alternates, or liaisons to Council committees, internal City of San José boards and commissions, and external boards and commissions from other local agencies. These entities are additional layers of local government and enable Councilmembers to expand their impact as a public servant. City Council appointed Councilmember George Casey to his current boards and committees in January 2025.
