Research Board

The Research Board provides oversight and support for the Club's numerous comprehensive and ballot measure study committees. Research Board members identify study topics, develop study charges, serve as advisors to various study committees, and review and approve draft reports. Membership on the Research Board requires prior service on a City Club comprehensive or ballot measure study committee. The Club accepts applications for new Research Board members each spring, but regularly issues calls for volunteers to join one of the many comprehensive and ballot measure study committees launched each year.
