Help guide city strategies and investments in technology. Applications are being accepted through December 4, 2015, for three positions.
The City of Seattle is looking for volunteers to join the Community Technology Advisory Board (CTAB). The 10-member board and its committees help guide city strategies and investments in information and communication technology. We are currently looking to fill at least three (3) positions. This is a great experience and a chance to learn a lot about government, information and communication technology, new trends and new tech...and help to make a difference.

We encourage people with multicultural backgrounds or work experience to apply. We also encourage applications from those who have worked with a diverse population.
