There are empty seats on two of the Wake Forest advisory board, the Historic Preservation Commission and the Human Rights Council.
Anyone who lives in town or in its small extraterritorial jurisdiction may apply, but candidates for the historic preservation board must live in the North Main historic district. Professionals with historic preservation expertise are greatly urged to apply for the HPC, which is also the sponsor of the biennial historic holiday tour in December.
Applicants are expected to attend the next meeting of the advisory board to which they applied to introduce themselves to the current board members and explain why they wish to serve on that board. The human relations council meets next on Thursday, March 23, at 6:30 p.m. in conference room 015 on the ground floor of town hall, and the historic preservation commission meets next on Wednesday, April 12, at 7 p.m. in the ground floor meeting room. Both are best reached by using the town hall’s Taylor Street entrance.
After the interviews, each advisory board will review its slate of candidates before submitting its recommendations to the town board which will announce the new appointments at its April 18 meeting.
The advisory boards were established to give citizens input into what happens in the community and to advise the town commissioners and mayor on matters that affect citizens and town government. For more information, contact Town Clerk Deeda Harris at 919-435-9413 or dharris@wakeforestnc.gov.
Applications may be completed and submitted online at www.wakeforestnc.gov/advisory-boards.aspx. Application forms are also available at the Wake Forest Town Hall.
Completed applications will be accepted until 5 p.m. Friday, March 17, and may be mailed or delivered to Town Clerk Deeda Harris, Wake Forest Town Hall, 301 S. Brooks St., Wake Forest, NC 27587; faxed to 919-435-9419; or emailed to dharris@wakeforestnc.gov.
