Nominations will be accepted through Nov. 4 for positions on three advisory councils involved with the administration of U.S. Bureau of Land Management lands in Colorado.

Nominations are sought for the Northwest, Southwest and Rocky Mountain resource advisory councils. Each council consists of 10 to 15 members representing diverse interests in local communities.

“Resource advisory councils provide the BLM with vital feedback on current issues, concerns and proposals and enable us to engage local communities and stakeholders to improve our management of public lands by listening to diverse voices,” said Doug Vilsack, state director of the BLM in Colorado. “Our goal is to ensure that membership of every RAC encompasses a wide variety of perspectives and backgrounds to guide our work as effectively as possible.”

Nominees must live in Colorado. Three categories of members include representatives from industry and recreation organizations, environmental and tribal groups, government officials, agency employees and the public at large.

Nominees are selected based on their training, education and knowledge of council geographic areas as well as their commitment to collaboration.
