CapitolRiver Council

Join the CapitolRiver Council Board

The CapitolRiver Council annual meeting and election is coming up in June. Each year, 5 candidates are elected to serve 2-year terms on the CRC board of directors. Board members are the volunteers who lead the organization. They are stewards of the organization’s mission and resources, and they set the overall priorities for community engagement and advocacy. CRC has made recommendations to the City Council and Mayor regarding proposed development projects, skyway system access and safety, park projects and programming, and crime prevention. We lead community-building activities and events to enable people to better understand issues and, in turn, provide meaningful input to elected officials who make decisions that affect their neighborhood. If you have any questions please email them to [email protected].
