BLM seeks nominees for advisory council

The Bureau of Land Management is seeking nominations to its 15-member Alaska Resource Advisory Council for positions representing constituents in the following areas of interest: energy/minerals (two positions), conservation/environmental (one position), dispersed recreation (one position) and Alaska Native organization (one position).

The council provides advice and recommendations to BLM on land management issues for 75 million acres of public lands in Alaska.

Members serve three-year terms and may be reappointed for consecutive terms. Council members serve without salary but are reimbursed travel expenses when appropriate. Nominees should have the appropriate background and experience to give informed, objective advice on a broad array of public lands issues, and a demonstrated commitment to collaboration in seeking solutions to those issues. All nominees must be Alaska residents.

Call BLM at 907-271-5555 to request a nomination packet or visit www.blm.gov/ak (select Get Involved, then Advisory Councils/Committees). Nominations must be accompanied by letters of reference from the interests or organizations to be represented. Nominations will be accepted until May10. Final selections will be made by the Secretary of Interior.
