Appearance Commission, Winston-Salem/Forsyth County

Purpose

The Community Appearance Commission of Winston-Salem & Forsyth County was formed in 1989 and includes citizens with a variety of career and life backgrounds. The primary goals of the Commission are to advise the Forsyth County Board of Commissioners and the Winston-Salem City Council about appearance-related issues and to positively influence public and private development. Major projects of the Community Appearance Commission (CAC) include the bi-annual Community Appearance Awards program, the annual Community Roots tree planting program, review of County and City-funded public facility construction projects from an appearance perspective, and advocacy of various other ordinances, public initiatives and measures to improve the attractiveness of the community.

Members

The fifteen members of the CAC are appointed by the Board of County Commissioners (7 members) and the City Council (8 members). Volunteer board members serve a maximum of two, consecutive three-year terms. A variety of backgrounds, skills and interests are appropriate for members, along with a common desire to help improve the appearance of the City and County. Appointees must reside within Forsyth County.
