2014 Target Seats See the Guidelines for Nominations for instructions for submitting a complete nomination packet. Nominations are due no later than July 1st.

The target boards and commissions below are arranged geographically as follows: the Counties of Alameda, Contra Costa, Santa Clara, and San Mateo; the cities of Albany, Berkeley, El Cerrito, Emeryville, Oakland, Richmond, and San Leandro; the City and County of San Francisco; and regional commissions.

Individuals may be nominated toward any of the seats on this list provided they meet residence and other requirements.

Board vacancies change all the time! Be sure to visit your city and/or county’s website or call the clerk’s office to review current vacancies.

We target boards, commissions, and committees that affect decisions that relate to land use/planning, housing, transportation, community development, environment, health, economic and workforce development.
