Advisory Council Member Interest Form

Are you interested in investing your time and expertise to support programming and operations as an Advisory Council Member for Seattle Parks and Recreation (SPR) and their non-profit partner, Associated Recreation Council (ARC)?  We are rebuilding our volunteer Advisory Councils and are actively recruiting new members.
