Why Serve?

Serving on a county board or commission is a valuable opportunity to offer personal growth and community impact. It allows active involvement in shaping local policies, directly influencing residents' lives by addressing critical issues like education, infrastructure, and public health. 

Additionally, participation offers insights into governance complexities, aiding in understanding how local government operates. Engaging in these roles fosters collaboration with diverse backgrounds, promoting unity and purpose. It provides a platform to address challenges, work on inclusive solutions, expand professional networks, and develop leadership skills while making a lasting, positive difference for the community. 

In essence, serving on such boards or commissions isn't just about contributing; it's a chance for personal and professional development while leaving a significant legacy of service.

What are the Requirements?

If you're interested in volunteering for a board or commission to support your community, please take a moment to review the Board of County Commissioners Advisory Board Policy (PDF) and the General Requirements for Advisory Board Service (PDF) before submitting an application. The primary requirements include:

  • Being at least 18 years old (unless applying for a youth-designated position)
  • Maintaining residency in Delta County, including the areas of Maher, Pea Green, and Somerset. 
  • Adhering to a 75% attendance requirement for all board members to retain membership.
  • Being willing and able to comply with ethical obligations associated with board service see Delta County's Code of Ethics & Conduct for Boards and Commissions
  • Some positions require specific residence locations. See the District Map (PDF) if you need to determine which District you live in.

How to Apply

When you submit a volunteer service application, it's important to note that under Colorado Public Records Law, the document becomes a public record.

What Happens Next?

Once you submit your application, the Commissioners' Office will confirm receipt and conduct a screening process. If you're appointed, the Commissioner's Office will notify you accordingly.

Volunteer Board Descriptions, Rosters & Vacancies

The County Commissioners have authorized the creation of the following volunteer boards and commissions, and appointments are made to various boards throughout the calendar year.

Colorado law doesn’t prescribe a specific minimum application period for board and commission vacancies—that’s left to each county’s policy. In practice, Delta County—and many of its peer jurisdictions—follow these guidelines:

  • Publish notice at least twice (once 10 days before close; again 5 days before close) in the local newspaper and on the county website.
  • Keep the application window open for at least 21 - 30 calendar days from the date of first publication to maximize outreach and give schools, civic groups, and businesses time to circulate the opening.
  • If the position is listed as  “open‑until‑filled”,  the notice must be posted promptly and leave applications open for at least two weeks before making any appointments.
