As part of the board, you will also be responsible for working with the Noise Program to advise and make recommendations to the Portland City Council on sound-related code and policy decisions. Please share this information with anyone you know who might be interested in serving as a volunteer board member and supporting our work.

We need systems, processes and services that work for people of color. If you want to help noise review and enforcement better serve communities of color, we want to see your application.
