Tacoma City Council is looking for applicants to fill two At-Large positions, one position representing Council District No. 1, one position representing Council District No. 4, and one position representing Council District No. 5 on the City of Tacoma’s Events and Recognitions Committee.
The nine-member committee consists of Tacoma residents, with representatives from each of Tacoma’s five Council Districts, who bring a range of perspectives and expertise that focus on the City’s commitment to celebrate civic engagement and special observations. The panel oversees City-hosted events and celebrations — such as the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Celebration and the City of Destiny Awards — by planning, reviewing, and evaluating events; engaging the community in its fund-raising efforts; and soliciting corporate and private sponsorships to leverage funds for these events. The committee consists of Tacoma residents recommended by Tacoma City Council’s Economic Development Committee and appointed by Tacoma City Council.
Applications must be submitted to the City Clerk’s Office by Fri., Jan. 23. To apply, please visit cityoftacoma.org/cbcapplication or contact Nicole Emery at (253) 591-5178, servetacoma@cityoftacoma.org, or the City Clerk’s Office, located at 733 Market St., Room 11, in downtown Tacoma.
