From staff reports
Beaufort County citizens have the opportunity to get involved and serve their community as several County Boards and Commissions currently have vacancies.
Beaufort County Boards and Commissions are Council-appointed volunteer opportunities for community members to share their expertise, input and ideas. The Boards and Commissions help County Council anticipate, fund and provide a cost-effective level of service.

Beaufort County Alcohol and Drug Abuse Board
Beaufort Memorial Hospital Board of Trustees
Construction Adjustments and Appeals Board
