Norwalk has formed various Boards and Commissions comprised of volunteers from the community to serve in an advisory capacity to the mayor and city council. Vacancies are created when a member moves permanently from the city or the term ends. The City of Norwalk makes every effort to organize a diversified group of citizens representing gender balance, a variety of ages and interests. If you are interested in volunteering to serve on any Board or Commission, please submit, in writing, your desire to the Mayor at City Hall.
