Applications will be accepted through Friday, June 9, and the Board of Mayor and Aldermen will appoint commission and board members on June 26. Those appointed will begin serving July 1, 2023.
First-time applicants can apply online at Germantown-TN.gov/Commissions. Paper applications are no longer accepted.

There are 12 positions on the Education Commission, each serving a one-year term. The commission looks at education issues of “general community interest.” It also awards Teachers of the Month and Youth Excellence awards each month, and manages the Battle of the Brains math and science competition for Germantown and Houston High Schools and the annual Education Celebration.
The Library Board has two open seats, and members serve staggered three-year terms. The board directs the Germantown Community Library, including appointing a director, accepting donations and bequests, and recommending rules and regulations for library operations.
