Government AdministrationNew York, United States51-200 Employees
The Office of the Queens Borough President is a government administration office that serves as the borough’s liaison to city and state authorities. It comments on land-use items within the borough, advocates for Queens’ needs in the annual municipal budget, and oversees governance structures by appointing Community Boards and chairing the Borough Boards, with members serving in ex officio roles on related boards and committees. Its regulatory framework is captured in title 45 of the New York City Rules, and the office is based in Jamaica, Queens. The office serves residents, community organizations, and government partners who rely on informed land-use decisions and budget priorities. It functions as a bridge within government administration, conveying borough concerns to mayoral agencies, the City Council, the New York State government, public authorities, and private sector stakeholders. A notable recent development is a 2023 collaboration with the Capital City Arts Initiative to promote arts engagement in the borough.
