Board commitment time includes attendance at monthly committee meetings and at least one subcommittee meeting. A high level of involvement with the applicant’s industry in Bend is preferred. Applicants must reside within the Bend city limits.

Applications will be accepted until 8 a.m. on Monday, August 1, 2016.
