Committees & Citizen Boards

Opportunities for Involvement

We need your input! Citizens from throughout the County serve on advisory committees and task forces to review programs and services offered by Blue Earth County. Recommendations from these groups are brought to the Blue Earth County Board of Commissioners, providing for direct participation by the residents of the County in formulating policy and evaluation programs.

Blue Earth County is looking for citizens of all ages who are interested in serving on the boards, committees and task forces listed below. High school students can apply online through the Youth Voice In Government program.

Citizens may also get involved by participating in the Blue Earth County Citizens Academy, a yearly six-week program that provides a behind-the-scenes learning opportunity for adult residents to learn more about County services and where tax dollars go.
