Get Involved!
If you are looking to grow your leadership skills and make a difference in the Morton County community, there are many ways to get involved. Below are some suggestions to get you started!
Join a Board
Boards and commissions make plans, coordinate projects, evaluate applications, and provide recommendations to the County Commission about how public resources are allocated. The future vitality of the community is based on decisions that are made today. Board member seats come open on a periodic basis in June or December (depending on the board). The County is always looking for motivated individuals, who care about their community, to fill these open positions. Click here to find out more about open board positions and apply.
