Appointive Agencies Established by City Council

More than 450 dedicated residents serve on nearly 60 boards, commissions, and committees within Virginia Beach, providing the city with essential technical, advisory, and judicial expertise. This civic involvement extends beyond city limits to regional authorities across Hampton Roads and the Peninsula, where citizen representatives offer administrative leadership in vital sectors such as healthcare, transportation, education, and recreation.
