Vail’s boards and commissions are essential components of local government, offering critical checks and balances in the decision-making process.
Vail’s boards and commissions are made up of residents, local business people, members of the Vail Town Council and others who take an active interest in the town. As volunteers, these residents contribute many hours to improve Vail’s quality of life. Board vacancies occur nearly annually. Appointments are made by the Vail Town Council. In exchange for volunteering, the town provides some boards with free parking passes and/or ski passes.
