Applications are being accepted for Columbia Vision Commission

COLUMBIA, MO (September 23, 2009) - The City Clerk’s Office is
accepting applications for the Columbia Vision Commission. The purpose
of this commission is to track, monitor and assist with the
implementation of the community visioning process by conducting periodic
reviews and issuing an annual report on the progress of visioning
implementation to the community. In addition, in the future, this
commission will recommend implementation tasks and other public
education and outreach programs.

The commission has two vacancies. One must be a qualified voter
residing in the City of Columbia and the other must be a resident of
Boone County, not residing within the city limits of Columbia. Terms
expire Dec. 15, 2010, and Dec. 15, 2012, respectively.

Candidates must have demonstrated a commitment to the visioning process
and will be evaluated on the ability to work with data and understand
systematic relationships; the ability to work collaboratively;
management skills; independence; existing memberships or positions; and
contributions to the diversity of the commission.

Citizens and organizations may nominate candidates for the commission
by contacting the City Clerk’s Office at cityclerk at GoColumbiaMo.com or
(573) 874-7208 and providing contact information for the person they
would like to nominate. Those nominated will be contacted and asked to
submit an application. Nominations must be received by noon on
Wednesday, Oct. 7, to allow time for that person to complete and submit
the application by its corresponding deadline date.

Self-nominations will be acceptable as well. An application form can be
completed and submitted directly to the City Clerk’s Office for
self-nominations. Applications can be obtained at the City Clerk’s
Office or can be found on the city’s Web site:
