The City of Alexandria has a strong commitment to citizen participation as evidenced by the number of citizen boards and commissions established by City Council. These bodies compose a formal system through which citizens can advise City Council on all major issues affecting the City.Boards and commissions are responsible to City Council and appointments are made by Council at their regular legislative meetings. Position vacancies are advertised in the local newspapers and through civic associations. Applicants for commission vacancies may obtain application forms and further information by calling the Office of Citizen Assistance at 703-838-4691.

Please note: There is an intermittent synchronization problem between Internet Explorer 5.x and Adobe Acrobat / Acrobat Reader, versions 4.x and 5.x. The problem occurs when Acrobat is set up as a "plug-in" to Internet Explorer (AOL browser also) and can result in incomplete PDF file opening or even browser lock up. The only workaround at this time is to turn off Web Browser Integration and view the PDF file in Acrobat.
Choose Edit > Preferences > Options (Acrobat 5.0 or Acrobat Reader 5.0) or choose File > Preferences > General (Acrobat 4.x or Acrobat Reader 4.x). In the Options section, deselect Display PDF in Browser (Acrobat 5.0 or Acrobat Reader 5.0) or deselect Web Browser Integration (Acrobat 4.x or Acrobat Reader 4.x)
