Since taking office in December 2019, Mayor Indya Kincannon has appointed 114 community leaders and people with specialized expertise to serve on boards, commissions and committees.

“I deeply respect these individuals who selflessly volunteer their time and share their ideas in service to our community,” Mayor Kincannon said. “They are committed to making Knoxville better, and they demonstrate that with their energy and fresh perspectives.”
