RALEIGH – The deadline to submit nominations for a seat on the N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission’s Nongame Wildlife Advisory Committee is May 15.
Three seats are available on the committee, which is a group of North Carolina citizens that provides advice to the Commission on nongame wildlife conservation issues across the state. The first seat is an “expert affiliate seat.” Nominees for this seat should have extensive biological, regional, academic, scientific and/or habitat expertise and experience in matters dealing with nongame wildlife conservation in North Carolina.
Two additional seats are at-large “affiliate seats.” Nominees for these seats should represent the conservation community, and may be associated with land trusts serving North Carolina, federal natural resource agencies other than the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, non-governmental conservation organizations, industries with operations and/or management that have landscape-scale effects on wildlife, or other organizations that provide a stakeholder voice in wildlife resource conservation. Individuals should have a comprehensive knowledge of nongame wildlife conservation in North Carolina.
The Commission asks committee members to participate actively throughout their 3-year terms. The committee meets four times a year, usually at the Commission’s headquarters in Raleigh.
The 19-member board of the N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission is scheduled to appoint committee members at its July meeting, based on the nominees’ credentials, expertise, affiliation and constituency at large.
To nominate an individual for the Nongame Wildlife Advisory Committee, submit a nomination form with information regarding affiliation and expertise, a résumé, if available, and a cover letter. These documents can be downloaded from the Commission’s website, www.ncwildlife.org. Click on the “Nongame Wildlife Advisory Committee” icon on the home page.
