The Fermilab Community Advisory Board brings together interested residents from the laboratory’s neighboring communities.

The Fermilab Community Advisory Board meets every two months and provides ongoing advice and guidance related to the future of the laboratory. The Board gives feedback on proposed new projects, reviews planned construction activities, advises Fermilab on all forms of public participation, and acts as a liaison with local organizations and communities. Potential members apply or are recommended for membership. Board members serve two year terms or are appointed by a local Mayor to serve as a Designated Community Representative.

All Community Advisory Board meetings are open to the public. Members of the public wishing to attend should contact edreg@fnal.gov at least two weeks before the meeting. The remaining 2025 meeting date is: November 20. The 2026 meeting dates are: January 22, March 26, May 28, July 23, September 24, and November 19.

Meeting agendas and notes are posted on this webpage. For more information, please email edreg@fnal.gov.
