Citizens Advisory Boards

Watch this video to learn more about the Citizens Advisory Board, and why you should join us at an upcoming meeting!

Citizens Advisory Boards (CABs) are established by the Washoe County Commission. CABs conduct organized meetings which create a forum for residents to engage in dialogue, hear from subject matter experts, and share perspectives on community issues and matters of public interest with the particular CAB’s geographical area and within Washoe County’s governmental jurisdiction. CABs also assist and advise Washoe County on such issues and matters of public interest through collaboration with the applicable county commissioner, as well as the Washoe County Commission.

Each Citizen Advisory Board (CAB) has established meeting dates and times. Meeting schedules are now available for the full calendar year. Please refer to the Q4 CAB Meeting Schedule - for remaining 2026 meetings or the 2027 CAB Meeting Schedule for upcoming meetings in 2027. Meetings are subject to change or cancellation, so please visit the CAB page three days prior to a scheduled meeting to view agendas or cancellation notices.

There are 8 CABs representing different geographical regions within Washoe County, divided by district and areas with similar concerns. These are:
