“Community boards are truly the heart and soul of municipal government in Brooklyn and New York City—they are the entry point for New Yorkers who love their neighborhoods and wish to be involved in the planning and development process.”
Borough President Marty Markowitz.
If you live in Carroll Gardens, Red Hood, Gowanus, Park Slope or Cobble Hill and want to serve your neighborhood, you may want to consider applying to our local Community Board 6.
As a Board member, you can advocate for issues important to our community, including land use, zoning, the City Budget, and municipal service delivery.
The deadline to submit an application is Monday, February 22, 2010 and can be downloaded here. You may also consider becoming a committee member. For further information, check out C.B.6's web site.
From the Borough President's web site:
There are 59 Community Boards throughout the City—18 in Brooklyn—each comprised of up to 50 unsalaried members appointed by the borough president. Board members are selected by the borough presidents from among active, involved people of each community, with an effort made to assure that every neighborhood is represented. Board members must reside or have some other significant interest in the community.

The BP has total control on appointing members?
