OLYMPIA - The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) is seeking nominations for its Game Management Advisory Council, which advises the department on issues including hunter-access opportunities, resource allocation, funding options and research projects.

WDFW Director Phil Anderson will appoint five new members to the 22-member council, which also makes recommendations regarding implementation of the department’s Game Management Plan ( http://wdfw.wa.gov/conservation/game/ (http://wdfw.wa.gov/conservation/game/) ).

Nominees do not have to be affiliated with an organized group. Nominations must be submitted in writing with the following information:

- Nominee’s name, address, telephone number and email address.
- Relevant experience and reasons for wanting to serve as a member of the advisory group.
- Nominee’s effectiveness in communication.
- Name and contact information for any individual or organization submitting a nomination.

Nominations must be received by 5 p.m., Aug. 31. Nominations must be submitted to Dave Ware, Game Division Manager by mail: Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, 600 Capitol Way N, Olympia, WA 98501-1091; or email at David.Ware@dfw.wa.gov .

New advisory council members will serve through June 2013, and should be available for advisory committee meetings beginning as early as December 2011. The council holds at least three one-day meetings each year. Special meetings may be called when special issues/topics arise. Upon request, council members will be reimbursed by WDFW for travel expenses to attend meetings.

I think we need somebody on here to apply for that position.

I nominate Bearpaw.

Post by: bearpaw on July 29, 2011, 01:49:20 PM: Thanks bobcat, this had been mentioned to me by someone else and I appreciate your faith in my judgement on wildlife issues, but I really am too busy to properly serve at this time. These positions need people who can devote the time for meetings at any time of the year.

I wonder if we have someone else on the forum or in WFW with the kind of time to devote? We could certainly send in a nomination from the forum or WFW.
