Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks seeks members for advisory committee

Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks is seeking up to five volunteer applicants to serve terms of two to three years on the agency’s Citizen’s Advisory Committee that was established in 1996. The primary function of the committee is to increase Fish, Wildlife and Parks’ awareness of emerging issues throughout the region by sharing the perspectives of the increasingly diverse constituencies.

Applicants should have a multi-faceted enthusiasm for the outdoors and will be relied on for advice and perspective regarding a wide range of sportsman, fisheries, wildlife, parks, enforcement, recreational and educational issues.

A geographically-balanced membership throughout the region encompassing Northwest Montana is desired in order to broaden the base of issues and perspectives.

Those selected as advisors are asked to relay to Fish, Wildlife and Parks not only your unique perspective on current issues, but also the concerns, interests and public opinion that you hear and discuss with others from your community, natural resource organizations or social circle.

The Citizen’s Advisory Committee meets approximately five to six times per year from late September to early June. Meetings are typically scheduled for Wednesday evenings in the Kalispell area. If selected as a committee member, your attendance at meetings is expected.

To apply, request the application be emailed to you by calling 752-5501. Applications must be received no later than Aug. 31 to be considered.
