The Fairfax Council values the involvement of residents and has resident advisory commissions which provide opportunities for participation. Serving on a commission is a great way to provide input and discuss important issues with your fellow residents.

Our goal is to have our commissions reflect a broad cross-section of the diverse perspectives that make up our community. Please consider applying for a commission to share your perspective, opinions, and recommendations to our Town Council members.

Commission members are volunteers appointed by the Town Council following an application and interview process. Members typically serve three-year terms that begin on February 1.
