As a Citizen….

Washoe County values our citizen involvement and input process.

Participating can be as simple as voting at an election, but you can take a more active role in shaping Washoe County government, policies, programs and decisions by participating in the day-to-day process of local government.

• Volunteer for one of the many County advisory boards that make recommendations to the Board of County Commissioners and County departments.
• Have an influence regarding decision making when it comes to adopting laws, the budget, or regional planning in your Washoe County community.
• Become a member of one of the 16 Citizen Advisory Board members in your neighborhood.
• Volunteer in one of the many departments that pique your interest such as Parks, Senior Services, Libraries and more…

Citizen involvement is a partnership between local government and our community. When citizens are actively involved in their government, decisions can better reflect the needs of the community. We want and welcome your involvement.
