Welcome aboard! This is a list of public meetings and agendas to help you follow the work of officials you’ve elected.

Help Wanted

Liberty County is seeking residents who want to sit on the development authority board or the Cultural and Historic Resources Committee.  

Liberty’s call for applications and volunteer questionnaire are typical of the process in all Georgia cities and counties for recruiting people to help oversee specialist agencies.  

Elected officials who make appointments may or may not already have some candidates in mind. For obscure, advisory or moribund boards, it might be even hard to find enough appointees to make a quorum.  

If you’re interested in being on a board, search your city or county’s website for any recent calls for board members or contact your county commissioner or city council member and ask what’s open. 

Meanwhile, here is a list of public meetings over the next two weeks you can attend. We’re covering about 50 public boards, which is not nearly all of them. This list depends on what local governments offer on the internet. Some publish schedules for various boards and authorities. Some publish meeting schedules far in advance, timely agendas and livestreams. Some do not. As always, let us know how we’re doing or suggest a board for inclusion.

This list starts with an automated collection and is checked and edited by a human. But agencies may announce new meetings, change meeting times or cancel them, sometimes without any online notice. Some publish calendars in more than one place with different information.  Some rely on Facebook posts which may require a login to read and cannot be collected automatically. 

You may want to call ahead and verify the meeting time and place, especially for smaller agencies.
