Acting Queens Borough President Sharon Lee today announced her appointments of individuals to serve on Queens’ 14 Community Boards this week. On May 31, the 339 appointees, 76 of which are first time members who have demonstrated a commitment to serving community needs, began their two-year terms, which will run until March 31, 2022.
