The Monmouth County Board of Freeholders has authorized the creation of a Monmouth County talent bank, which will give residents the opportunity to express interest in volunteering on various boards and commissions.
“It is so important for our residents to be a part of county operations and, with varying ending dates for terms, residents may not always know when there are upcoming opportunities to join a board or commission,” Freeholder Director Thomas A. Arnone said.
“With the creation of this talent bank, when an opening comes up on a board or commission and we are in need of individuals to fill a slot, we will have a pool of qualified, available and willing residents to choose from,” he said.
A form will be available on the county website which will help create an inventory of potential volunteers for the boards and commissions the county oversees, according to a press release.
Interested residents will be able to fill out the form with contact information, any relevant background information and the board or commission they are interested in serving on. A list of all the boards and commissions will be available on a pull-down menu on the form.
