Office of Community Involvement

Thank you for completing this Community Budget Advisory Committee (CBAC) application. Multnomah County recruits for the CBAC program throughout the year, with most applications being reviewed over the summer for appointments occurring in the fall. You will be asked to select a primary CBAC that you wish to apply for - please be sure to review the CBACs in advance. If the CBAC you select is not recruiting, or your application isn't selected, you can opt in for your application to be held in a "pool" for other CBACs to review in this or the next recruitment period, depending on timing.

If you have questions about the application, selection process, or would like to connect with staff in the Office of Community Involvement, feel free to call us at 503-988-3450 or send an email to community.involvement@multco.us. 

Multnomah County is committed to early, inclusive, and equitable community outreach and engagement in order to build advisory committees that represent a broad cross-section of community perspectives and experiences.  

To support this commitment, CBAC actively seeks: 1) a geographically broad representation of county residents, 2) participation of individuals from diverse income levels, racial, ethnic, gender, ability, and age groups, 3) individuals who live or work in the county, 4) individuals or representatives of groups most impacted by departmental budgets, and 5) individuals or representatives of groups with expertise in county services.

Before you apply, please know that you will be expected to participate in the New Member Orientation and Onboarding as well as review, understand, and agree to Oregon, county, and CBAC laws, policies, and practices viewable here.
