Citizen Advisory Council

Worcester's Home Rule charter, as approved by the voters of Worcester in 1986, established a Citizen Advisory Council (CAC), whose function is to assist the City Manager in selecting candidates for appointment. The CAC actively recruits nominees, accepts all applications, and submits recommendations for appointments to the City Manager. The CAC seeks at all times to open up the process of appointment to all social, economic, racial and ethnic groups residing in the community.

As of August 11, 2020, the Commission on Disability was renamed to the Accessibility Advisory Commission.

As of October 6, 2020, the GAR Hall Board of Trustees and the Memorial Auditorium Board of Trustees were reorganized and combined to form a new Commission for the Preservation of Historic Artifacts, Relics and Military Memorials.
