This year consider running for an office on the Darnall Community Council board. As a board member you have the opportunity to develop and refine your public speaking skills, learn more about local government and have the opportunity to change your family's neighborhood. Put your name on this years election ballot and take an office.

Officer Descriptions

What positions are available? What are the duties of each position? How many hours per week/month should a person plan on scheduling? What is the voting process? I think this info will help people make an informed choice on their possible participation on the Darnall Community Council. Also are there Bylaws online that a person can review?

Bylaw info...

Info on DCC rules/bylaws/guidelines would be appreciated. Can this be made available online?
