Boards

Lewis and Clark County is very fortunate to have caring and concerned citizens who volunteer their time to serve on boards, commissions and committees. Some of these boards and committees are appointed by the Board of County Commissioners, while others are comprised of members elected by their special district constituents.

For additional information about Boards and Committees, please contact the Commission Office at 406-447-8304. 

APPOINTED BOARDS AND COMMITTEES

There are various groups of concerned citizens who meet to discuss County business – they make decisions and/or recommendations to the Board of County Commissioners, which help to shape the County’s future and set standards and goals for the community. The volunteers dedicate much of their time, talent and hard work to their respective boards and committees. Their continued commitment is the reason for the quality of life that is unique to Lewis and Clark County.
