Involvement on an Advisory Committee provides a meaningful opportunity for residents to get involved for the benefit of their community, without needing to run for elected office.
Advisory Committee Purpose – The committees serve in an advisory capacity to the Board of Park Commissioners. Members meet alongside staff and a park board commissioner to study and review the operational components of park district affiliate groups, Deerspring and Mitchell Pools, the Sachs Recreation Center and the Deerfield Golf Club & Learning Center and make recommendations to the Park Board based on their findings and research. Committee members are appointed to 3-year terms and meet three to four times a year.
