How Can I Get Involved?
Technical Teams will be groups of 12-20 members comprised of city staff, boards and commissions, technical professionals, and other experts from the Raleigh community. Members will be chosen by a committee based on professional and relevant experience in an area of focus. Only members of the public need to apply. City staff and members of Boards and Commissions do not.
The process:
- If you have professional or related experience in one of the areas of focus, apply online.
- Members of the team will be notified if they are selected to join a team.
Technical Teams are topic-based teams of subject matter experts that meet to provide guidance and develop policy recommendations for the City’s Next Comprehensive Plan. Five teams will be organized by key topics included in the next plan:
- Land Use
- Transportation
- Housing and Neighborhoods
- Natural Resources
- Infrastructure and Services
Each Technical Team will include:
- City staff
- Representatives from City boards and commissions
- Technical experts from the Raleigh community
Why Apply?
Technical Teams are an opportunity for subject matter experts across the Raleigh community to draft policy and content for the City’s Next Comprehensive Plan. Members of these teams will play a unique role in combining their expertise with public input to recommend policies for the Comprehensive Plan.
What to Expect as a Team Member
If you are selected to join a Technical Team, you can expect to attend five in-person meetings over the course of five months. Teams will review existing comprehensive policies, emerging trends, and public input gathered during Phase 1 of Reflecting Raleigh. Together, teams will review and develop content for the Next Comprehensive Plan.
Meeting Schedule
Teams will meet once a month for five months between February and June 2026. Meetings will be held in person for 60-90 minutes.
Members of the public will be compensated for their time on a team at the conclusion of the process. Refreshments and childcare will be provided to all members.
