PACDC Purpose
Serving on this interagency committee is one way that our residents can participate in local government. Boards and Commissions typically serve in an advisory capacity to the City of Tucson and Pima County elected officials. In your role, you would be serving in the same capacity, while representing the Arts Foundation for Tucson and Southern Arizona. The community benefits from the knowledge and expertise that volunteers bring to these Boards and Commissions.
Unless otherwise indicated, all board, committee, and commission members must be residents of Tucson or Pima County at the time of their appointment and for the full duration of their term.
In accordance with Resolution 15881 adopted by Mayor and Council, it is the policy of the City of Tucson that all appointments to City Boards, Committees, Commissions, Task Forces, and other such appointed bodies, be gender balanced and reflect the ethnic and racial compositions of the City. Therefore, all interested individuals are encouraged to apply.
