You now have until Feb. 14 to apply. Here's another look at the info:
Interested in what gets built in your community and how government works to deliver services in your neighborhood? Apply to join one of Manhattan's 12 Community Boards.
Every Community Board has 50 seats which are filled for two-year terms by volunteers, who are selected by the Borough President and local City Council members. Half the seats are up for appointment or reappointment every year.
Community Boards get a seat at the table in high-stakes land use, real estate, and zoning negotiations, and they work directly with city agencies to influence how government services are delivered at the neighborhood level.
If you'd like to serve as a member of your Community Board, apply online here! Community Board applications will be open until 5 p.m. on Feb. 14.
Physical applications (downloadable here as a PDF) may also be dropped off at the Manhattan Borough President’s Office or mailed and postmarked by Feb. 14, but online submissions are strongly preferred.
You can find more details about our local board — Community Board 3 — via this link.

Sadly I think more people care about lost dogs and SantaCon than serving the community from which they actively complain.
I care about lost dogs and Santa Con. I also spent 9 years as a member of CB#3, 5 of them as chair of the SLA Committee. Trust me, it's possible to do both.
