CB6 Committee Public Membership Time

Want to joint a Community Board (well, Community Board 6) Committee? Your time has arrived. We got an email from CB6 that it's accepting applications for membership to its committees. Here's the info:

It's that time of year again when Brooklyn Community Board 6 (CB6) reconstitutes the composition of its standing committees. Although CB6 committee membership must be composed primarily of a majority of Board Members, membership is also open to Non-Board Members as well. This allows for broader, grassroots public representation on the Community Board's standing committees, and encourages and facilitates citizen participation in local government within our communities. The Brooklyn CB6 district includes the neighborhoods of Carroll Gardens/South Brooklyn, Cobble Hill, Columbia Street District, Gowanus, Park Slope, and Red Hook.

Applications can be picked up at the CB6 office at 250 Baltic Street from Monday through Friday from 10AM-4PM or can be downloaded by clicking here. The committee appointments are for one-year terms and start February 1, 2008. Committees that are available include Economic/Waterfront Development, Parks/Recreation, Housing/Human Services, Public Safety/Environmental Protection, Landmarks/Land Use, Transportation and Youth Services/Education. The deadline for submitting applications is January 9.
