Community Boards
There are 14 community boards in Queens, coordinated by Deputy Borough President Karen Koslowitz. The boards act as liaisons between Queens citizens and the municipal agencies that serve them.
Each board has up to 50 non-paid members who meet once a month to discuss community issues. All members are appointed by the Queens Borough President, with half of them nominated by City Council members. At presstime, Borough President Helen Marshall was scheduled to appoint new board members in April, so changes will be made to the following lists of members.
All Census figures were compiled by the New York Department of City Planning. A reference map with all of the borough’s Board numbers is shown below, with unlabeled locator maps next to each individual board.
