Braddan Commissioners say they are looking for someone community minded with a knowledge of the parish to join.
The local authority is looking for people to stand in an upcoming by-election after the retirement of Peter Scott from the board earlier this year.
It is also hoping people with a specialism, like finance or law, will consider stepping forward.
Earlier this month, Alf Caine, who came third in the Middle constituency during the House of Keys election, announced he would stand for Braddan when the by-election was called.
Chair Andrew Jessopp said there were a “varied” number of issues to deal with including social housing, The Roundhouse and services such as hedge cutting and street sweeping.
Local Democracy Reporter Emma Draper has been speaking to him:
The election notice is due to be published by the Cabinet Office on October 22. Candidates have until November 4 to submit their papers.
