Councils And Commissions

The Arizona Department of Commerce staffs multiple advisory boards and commissions. A board or commission is an independent body consisting of members who are appointed by public officials, usually the Governor. Boards with Gubernatorial appointments are created in two ways, either by statute enacted by the State Legislature, or by a Governor’s Executive Order. The boards and commissions overseen by the Arizona Department of Commerce develop policy and make recommendations to public officials on how to address specific issues.

Board members help shape the future of Arizona by lending their experience, judgment, and expertise and make a significant contribution to the governance of the State. Click on the links below to learn more about the boards and commissions staffed by the Arizona Department of Commerce.
