Here's how you can apply to be a community board member

Do you like long meetings? Do you enjoy having your name or photo appear on local blogs? Do you like neighborhood block associations? Then do we have a job for you!

No, no — we kid because we love… here's your chance to be part of your local Community Board … and be "representative voices" of your community.

From the EVG inbox yesterday...

The Manhattan Borough President's Office is currently accepting applications for community board membership. Community boards represent their neighborhoods on crucial issues such as development, land use, historic preservation and city service delivery. Serving on a board is an incredible opportunity to be at the forefront of sound community-based planning.

To find out more about Manhattan's community boards, learn how to apply for membership, or download an application, click here. Applications are due by February 1, 2014.

Sincerely,

Scott M. Stringer
Manhattan Borough President

    And you get to interact with the lovely Susan Stetzer on a monthly basis as well, let's not forget about that little bonus.

    Good. God knows CB3 needs some new blood. Hopefully, Gigi Li will not be reappointed. CB3 has been a holy mess since she took over (not that it was great beforehand)!

    And here's your chance to get kickbacks from and sleep with bar owners and Santacon organizers.
