2 Geneva Advisory Boards Seek High School Student Representatives

GENEVA, IL — Two Geneva advisory committees are looking for high school students to join. Openings are available on the Strategic Plan Advisory Committee Bike and Pedestrian Committee.

The Strategic Plan Advisory Committee, whose duty is to prioritize community goals outlined in the city's strategic plan, encourage citizen input, and assist with goal implementations. Meetings are held at 6:30 p.m. on the third Wednesday of each month.

The Bike and Pedestrian Committee, which meets at 6 p.m. on the second Wednesday of each month, provides input on the city's bike plans, identifies areas for improvement, coordinates safety education events, and seeks community feedback.

To qualify, students must live within the City of Geneva's municipal boundary. Officials said in a news release that ideal candidates would be current sophomores so they could serve several years as each committee's student representative.

Students interested should submit a board volunteer application along with a letter of interest and resume by April 10. Applicants can indicate which committee they're interested in on the form.

City officials are directing questions to Assistant City Administrator Ben McCready at 630-938-4540 or bmmcready@geneva.il.us.
