Serving on one of the City of San Diego’s boards and commissions gives San Diegans the opportunity to make a positive impact on their community.  

These entities serve in a fiduciary, regulatory, policy-setting and/or advisory capacity, and those who step up to volunteer on them often find it a highly rewarding experience.  

From serving on the City’s Commission for Arts and Culture or sitting on the Commission on Gang Prevention and Intervention, the work our volunteers do for our boards and commissions helps the City provide important, high-quality and equitable services to our residents. 

There are currently hundreds of opportunities to serve on a City board or commission, including serving on the Board of Building Appeals and Advisors, which investigates and advises the City on the suitability of alternate materials or construction methods.  

We are looking for civil engineers, structural engineers, electrical engineers, mechanical engineers, fire protection engineers, architects and other volunteers with experience in the design and construction industry and fire prevention and fire protection industries. We also need at least one person with a disability who can use their lived experience to help ensure that accessibility is always represented in these important discussions.  

If you or anyone you know is interested in serving on the Board of Building Appeals and Advisors or any of the City’s boards and commissions, please apply for a position today. Help your City provide the high-quality services San Diegans deserve.
