Minnesota residents interested in serving on the statewide Aquatic Invasive Species Advisory Committee may submit applications online until 4:30 p.m. Friday, Jan. 22.
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources’ AIS Advisory Committee is a core element of the department’s partnership approach to addressing aquatic invasive species. The DNR is seeking three new members to join the committee, with term lengths of three years. The committee comprises 15 members.
The DNR desires a diverse and well-rounded advisory committee, reflecting a diversity of ages, genders, ethnicities, abilities, orientations, recreational interests, education, and geographies.
Current members have a range of personal and professional experience with AIS issues, including prevention, decontamination, public awareness and control activities. The committee also reflects the range of private, nonprofit and public sector organizations that are actively engaged in AIS issues.
