Nominations are still being accepted for the Rocky Mountain Resource Advisory Committee. Regional Forester Frank Beum, from the USDA Forest Service Rocky Mountain Region, has encouraged those who have an interest in serving on the committee to apply before the April 30 deadline.
This new committee will be comprised of 15 citizens with diverse interests. It will function under a formal charter in accordance with the Secure Rural Schools and Community Self-Determination Act and the Federal Advisory Committee Act. Resource Advisory Committee members must reside within Colorado or Wyoming, the states in which the committee has jurisdiction. Members serve four-year terms without pay but may be reimbursed for travel expenses.
