When most people think about getting involved with local government, they imagine elections, public comment, or maybe even running for office. But there’s another, often-overlooked way to make a real impact on Redding—and that’s through boards and commissions.
In this episode of the City of Redding Podcast, Katie and Steve talk with City Clerk Sharlene Tipton about these important advisory groups that quietly help shape the policies, priorities, and projects that affect daily life in our community. From arts and historic preservation to parks, planning, and public safety—there’s a board or commission for just about every interest.
We’ll break down what these groups actually do, how you can get involved, and why your voice—yes, your voice—might be exactly what Redding needs.
Whether you're looking for a meaningful way to give back, or just curious how city decisions get made behind the scenes, this conversation is your invitation to step up and take part.
