🏛️ Requesting a Presentation at a Board Meeting
Image
County departments and outside agencies may request a formal presentation of a proclamation or certificate at a Riverside County Board of Supervisors meeting. These requests are reviewed based on how closely the subject matter aligns with official County business and are approved at the discretion of the Chair of the Board.
To request a presentation during a Board meeting, please complete and submit the Board Presentation Request Form to [email protected] and clearly note your request in the “Special Request” field.
While a minimum of six weeks’ notice is required, we strongly encourage submitting your request as early as possible. Additional time may be needed for scheduling, internal coordination, or if multimedia elements (such as videos or slideshows) are being included.
Please review the Chair’s guidelines before submitting, as presentation formats and requirements may vary.
📌 Important Notes for Proclamation & Certificate Requests

If you are requesting a certificate or proclamation signed by all five members of the Board of Supervisors, please note:
