| CANDIDATES SOUGHT FOR AT-LARGE BOATING SEAT ON PA FISH AND BOAT COMMISSION |
| January 9, 2006 |
HARRISBURG -- The Governor’s Advisory Council for Hunting, Fishing and Conservation today announced that it is looking for a qualified candidate to serve as the at-large boating commissioner on the board of the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission.
“We are searching for a person experienced in boating and water safety education who is also a registered boat owner in Pennsylvania,” said Andy Talento, a member of the council’s fish and boat subcommittee. “Pennsylvania ranks 12th in the country in terms of registered boats, with more than 2.5 million people enjoying the activity on Pennsylvania waters.”
Of the 10 seats on the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission, two of them are charged with representing boating interests.
The at-large boating seat is presently filled by Commissioner Paul J. Mahon of Clarks Green, Lackawanna County, whose term expires next month.
Candidates will first interview with the fish and boat subcommittee of the advisory council and will be rated not only on responses, but also on past volunteer experience with water and boating safety, as well as water conservation and restoration. Governor Edward G. Rendell will select the final candidate. Upon Senate confirmation, the successful candidate will serve an eight-year term.
All commissioners serve without compensation, but do receive travel reimbursement.
Individuals interested in applying should send a resume and detailed cover letter to Robb Miller, Governor’s Advisory Council for Hunting, Fishing and Conservation, Rachel Carson State Office Building, 400 Market St., 7th Floor, P.O. Box 8767, Harrisburg, Pa. 17106-8767. Applications will be accepted until Friday, Feb. 3.
