 As the four-part series " Every Drop Counts" continues, we show you how the City of Allen works to prevent accidental water loss before the issue becomes too large.

Have you wanted to help guide the growth of our community and shape policies, services and programs in Allen?

Anyone interested in serving is encouraged to attend one or more meetings to learn about current activities and see how the board works.
Volunteer applications are available online or through the City Secretary's Office, 3rd Floor at Allen City Hall, 305 Century Parkway. Applications for City of Allen Boards and Commissions will be accepted through August 8.
