Standing Committees


Nauvoo's standing committees are dedicated groups responsible for reviewing key issues and making recommendations to local government. These committees play a vital role in shaping policy, reviewing legislation, overseeing city departments, managing budgets, and addressing community concerns. 

Through in-depth discussions, research, public hearings, and community engagement, they help ensure that decisions align with the city's needs and priorities.
