Officials in Cass County seek to balance the various County boards and commissions, by having them comprised of men and woman. To that end, gender balance on county and city boards and commissions took effect January 1, 2012. Cass County Auditor Dale Sunderman says “To facilitate gender balancing of Cass County’s boards and commissions, the Cass County Board of Supervisors is taking applications for positions that are currently open [or which will be open within the next year].”
Current positions open are two members for the Cass County Compensation Board. The Supervisors’ previous two appointees were males. Gender balancing would require the appointment of one male and one female to the now vacant positions. Anyone interested in serving in one of those positions (or any of the positions on the County’s website) may get an application at the Cass County Auditor’s office.
Applications and the list of positions open within the next year are available online at the Cass County, Iowa website, casscountyiowa.us/offices/bos/bosforms.htm
