Volunteer Board position

The Appointing Authority for Broward County’s Transportation Surtax is currently welcoming applications from qualified individuals looking to serve on the Independent Transportation Surtax Oversight Board (Oversight Board) as representatives in the category of Engineering / Construction Management.

This includes an essential role in confirming the statutory eligibility of Transportation Surtax projects and supervising ongoing expenditures related to these projects.
