Applications are currently being accepted for three vacancies on the nine-member Ketchikan State Parks Citizen Advisory Board for the term beginning in mid-February.
The board advises the Division of Parks & Outdoor Recreation on matters affecting state parks in the Ketchikan area, promotes protection of the area state parks’ natural and cultural resources, and facilitates communication between the public and park managers. Board meetings are held monthly, September through May. Members are expected to occasionally serve on board-appointed committees in addition to attending the monthly meetings, and they serve staggered three-year terms so that seats open each year.
To apply for a position on the board, go to http://dnr.alaska.gov/parks/misc/boards.htm to download the application form. Applications are due Feb. 8 and should be sent to Ketchikan District Park Ranger Mary Kowalczyk at mary.kowalczyk@alaska.gov or mailed to her at Alaska State Parks, 9883 N. Tongass Highway, Ketchikan, Alaska 99901.
The board is selected to represent the broad spectrum of public interests involved with or affected by the area parks.
