Community Board Membership Application

Manhattan's community boards are local organizations composed of 50 volunteer members generally serving staggered two-year terms. Community boards are tasked with being the independent and representative voices of their communities.   Each community board has three distinct responsibilities: monitoring the delivery of city services; planning and reviewing land use, zoning changes liquor license and other applications; and making recommendations for each year's city budget. The boards are pivotal in shaping their communities and work to enhance and preserve the character of the city's many unique neighborhoods.  If you're interested in becoming a member of Community Board Five, click here for application information. 

Appointments to Community Board Five are made by Borough President Scott Stringer.
