The City of Rio Rancho announced on May 13 that it is accepting applications from residents interested in serving on several boards, committees, and commissions due to current or upcoming vacancies.
These opportunities are available for a range of groups including the Arts Commission, Capital Improvements Plan Citizen’s Advisory Committee, Investment Advisory Board, Keep Rio Rancho Beautiful Committee, Lodger’s Tax Advisory Board, Parks and Recreation Commission, Planning and Zoning Board, Public Infrastructure Advisory Board, and Senior Services Advisory Board. Interested residents can apply online at rrnm.gov/applicationform or submit their résumé and application in person to the Office of the City Clerk at Rio Rancho City Hall (3200 Civic Center Circle). Applications will be accepted until positions are filled.
Each board or committee has specific requirements.
