Community Boards
All Queens community board members are appointed by the Queens Borough President, pursuant to the City Charter, with half of the appointments being nominated by the City Council Member representing their respective Community Districts.
Community Boards play an important advisory role in considering land use and zoning matters in their respective districts. Each Board holds monthly full membership meetings. Boards also hold hearings and issue recommendations about City budget, municipal service delivery and other matters that impact their communities.
Staff members from the Queens Borough President’s Office serve as liaisons between the Borough President’s Office and all 14 Community Boards and can connect constituents with the Community Boards that represent them.
The Queens Borough President’s Office also hosts public monthly meetings for District Managers and Board Chairs, often featuring presentations from city agencies on issues such as land use, budget and civic engagement initiatives.
