State Parks seeks applications for Winter Recreation Advisory committees

OLYMPIA — The Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission is seeking applications from winter sports enthusiasts for the agency’s snowmobile and non-motorized advisory committees. Five positions are available statewide to snowmobilers, and two are available statewide to individuals involved in non-motorized winter sports.

Both committees are made up of individuals representing snowmobilers and non-motorized winter sports participants. The Washington Department of Natural Resources, Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife and Washington Association of Counties each have one representative who serves on both committees. The committees meet separately and in person at least two weekends each year. Members may serve up to two three-year terms.

The Winter Recreation Advisory Committee is seeking a non-motorized winter sports candidate from Area 5, which represents Kittitas, Yakima, Benton and Klickitat counties. The committee also seeks an at-large candidate to represent snowmobilers.

The Snowmobile Advisory Committee seeks candidates from Area 2, which represents Okanogan, Chelan, Douglas and Grant counties; Area 3, which represents Ferry, Stevens, Pend Oreille, Lincoln and Spokane counties; and Area 4, which represents Pierce, Thurston, Lewis, Cowlitz, Skamania, Clark, Mason, Pacific and Grays Harbor counties. The committee also seeks two at-large candidates to represent non-motorized winter sports enthusiasts.

Nominations must be received by Dec. 15. New appointments begin upon appointment.
