Join a Community Advisory Board

Bring your voice to the table — help shape how the Clerk’s Office serves our community.

The Santa Fe County Clerk’s Office has launched five new Community Advisory Boards to bring resident insight and real-world experience into our office’s daily work. These boards aim to expand access, equity, and community-centered service across everything we do — from elections and marriage licenses to land records and probate.

Each board meets quarterly and will help shape how we communicate, serve, and connect with Santa Fe County residents. Whether you're new to civic engagement or a longtime advocate, there's a place for you here.

Available Advisory Boards

• Youth Engagement Advisory Board
• Spanish Language Access Advisory Board
• Native Advisory Board
• Disability Access Advisory Board
• Veterans’ Services Advisory Board

What You'll Do

• Advise on ways to make elections more inclusive
• Identify and help remove barriers to public services
• Build connections across communities and agencies
• Develop leadership and public speaking skills
• Make local government more responsive to real needs

Who Should Apply?

These boards are open to all Santa Fe County residents, regardless of background or prior experience. We especially encourage young people, veterans, Native community members, Spanish speakers, and members of the disability community to apply. If you’re passionate about inclusion and public service — we want to hear from you.
