• Community Group Seat #1, Luz Gomez
• At-Large, Commercial Seat #1, Chuck Leonard
• Environmental Justice Seat #2, Sarah Foster
• Education or Research Institution Seat, Kimberly Hazard
• Supervisorial Appointment, District 2, Victoria Smith and Alternate Christopher Easter
• Supervisorial Appointment, District 3, Mike Moore and Alternate Norman Cohen

All current Commission Member seats that are set to expire and would like to continue to serve on the Sustainability Commission are required to submit an application <https://www.contracosta.ca.gov/6408/Boards-and-Commissions-Database> on the County’s website to be considered for future appointment.
For all At-Large seats (Community Group, Commercial, Environmental Justice and Education/Research Institution seats), the County’s Sustainability Committee usually conducts interviews with a special meeting in February for upcoming seats set to expire and makes a recommendation to the County’s Board of Supervisors on appointments for those seats.
