Mayor Justin Wilson will present members of the Community Service Board with a proclamation honoring the group’s 50 years of service on Dec. 10, according to a news release.

The CSB was set up to provide essential safety net services to residents and support recovery and resiliency for those with mental illness, developmental disabilities and substance use disorders, according to the release. As of 2019, the CSB has more than 25 programs serving over 4,300 residents.

Appointed by city council, the 12 volunteers who oversee the CSB direct policy and budget, develop projects and oversee programs for all of the city’s mental health, intellectual disability and substance use services, according to the release.
