About City of London Boards and Commissions
City of London’s Boards and Commissions provide specific and/or specialized services to the London community.
A Board or Commission is an independent body consisting of members of which some or all are appointed by Municipal Council.
A Board or Commission is established through legislation that specifically addresses how the leadership structure is to be organized. The majority of appointments are open to the general public, but it should be noted that the enabling legislation sometimes requires certain positions to be filled by public servants or representatives of a particular professional body. Members are appointed for a term coinciding with that of the appointing Council, except unless otherwise dictated by legislation or there is a desire or requirement for staggered terms.
