Borough President Melinda Katz announced Monday that she is accepting applications from “qualified and civic-minded individuals” interested in serving on one of Queens’ 14 Community Boards.

“Our borough is stronger when residents from across Queens who care deeply about their neighborhood make their voices heard by joining their local community board,” Katz said. “Serving on a community board can be demanding in both time and energy, but our government is more effective and accountable when it can draw upon the knowledge and expertise of active, engaged community members.”

Two-year terms begin April 1.
