So far this year, Mayor Indya Kincannon has appointed 54 community leaders and people with specialized expertise to serve on boards, commissions and committees.

“I am thankful to the many people who volunteer their time and share their insights to help our city function better,” Mayor Kincannon said. “Fresh ideas and a willingness to serve the community are always welcome and appreciated.”

A chronological list of Mayor Kincannon’s appointments will be published regularly at www.knoxvilletn.gov/news. 

But did you know that the City website also provides consolidated, easy-to-find information on the purpose, makeup and meeting schedule of 56 boards, commissions, committees and other panels? 

Visit www.knoxvilletn.gov/government/boards_commissions. You’ll also find information on how you can volunteer or apply for appointment to a board.
 
Below is the list of mayoral appointees whose service began on or after Jan. 1, 2020, along with the appointee’s term and a link to more information about the board or commission. (The asterisk denotes appointments made by former Mayor Madeline Rogero late last year. All other appointments were made by Mayor Kincannon.)
