Transparency - Boards & Commissions

Boards, committees, and commission members aid the governing process by keeping Buncombe County in touch with the ideas and attitudes of its citizens. They help provide direction for the allocation of funds, the provision of human services, protection of citizens, property and our natural resources. The input of the citizens is vitally important to the success of our County.

Buncombe County invites you to participate in your local government by volunteering for service on a Board, Commission, or Committee! Join the team of more than 2,000 County employees, elected officials, boards and commission members and other volunteers that work to improve our Community.
