Jackson County has several volunteer-based citizen boards, committees, commissions and task forces that need residents to serve as members.
There are many different types of boards and committees that support the County. Some are temporary and only meet for a short time. They may help make decisions or recommendations to the Board of Commissioners on a specific topic. Others are permanent groups that were created as part of State or local law. There are committees that assist with everything from health issues to social issues, criminal justice, elderly, planning and land use, parks, libraries, housing, and human relations.
