Boards & Commissions

South Milwaukee is full of smart, passionate people who want to make a difference. One way to do it - step up and be considered for a volunteer board or commission.

The city has more than a dozen of these groups providing oversight and guidance to various city departments and functions, and we’re always looking for new people to provide their expertise in any number of areas.

So if you have a background or interest in libraries, health, law enforcement, public safety or a number of other areas, please consider getting involved! Diverse candidates are encouraged.
