The Governor’s Advisory Council for Hunting, Fishing and Conservation is seeking a qualified candidate to represent District 4 on the Game Commission’s board of directors. Nominations are due by March 26.
District 4 includes the counties of Bedford, Blair, Cambria, Fulton, Huntingdon and Somerset.
The district is currently represented with distinction by Commissioner Tim Layton, whose term expires June 29, 2021. Commissioner Layton can continue to serve for six months after his term expires, or until his replacement is named, whichever occurs first.
“The Governor is reaching out to the hunting and trapping community in District 4 to find a diverse group of applicants, one of whom will be nominated by Gov. Wolf to fill this upcoming vacancy,” said Robb Miller, director of the Advisory Council. “We’re encouraging anyone interested in volunteering to serve on the board to send us a letter of intent and their professional resume.”
Per the Game Code, applicants must be well-informed about wildlife conservation and restoration and be residents of the district. Commissioners receive no compensation for their service but are reimbursed for travel expenses.
Candidates will be interviewed by the advisory council and rated on their responses, as well as their professional and volunteer experience with wildlife conservation and related activities.
Gov. Tom Wolf will select the final candidate to be presented to the Senate for confirmation.
Individuals interested in applying should email a resume and cover letter to Robb Miller, Governor’s Advisor for Hunting, Fishing and Conservation, by sending an email to: robmille@pa.gov.
