Lake County needs volunteers

The Lake County Board is seeking volunteers to appoint to various boards, agencies, and commissions. Residents can now visit one page on the county’s website to search county board appointed committees/boards/agencies, check eligibility, see if there is a vacancy, and apply online. Information about each committee, including term, composition, compensation, and contact information is also available on the site. Visit the appointments page, http://www.lakecountyil.gov/Pages/appointments.aspx or call (847) 377-2257. County officials say citizen participation in government enhances transparency and openness, as well as effectiveness because government officials benefit from citizens’ input, perspective, and expertise.
