The City could not function without the outstanding advice, expertise and time provided by individuals like you who inquire about volunteering to serve with no pay and little expected reward. The City’s boards, commissions, and committees link the City Council and staff to the citizens of Corpus Christi and help keep our city government vital, responsive, and accountable. The sense of civic duty still prevails in the City of Corpus Christi.
In making appointments, consideration is given to the suggestion of staff and the chairpersons of boards, commissions, or committees. In some cases, state law dictates membership, and in other expertise and knowledge of the subject matter is considered. In building code committees (electrical, plumbing, etc.) this is especially a factor. However, the needs of the average citizen must be represented and protected. A profession must not be allowed to regulate itself.
