| PA FISH AND BOAT COMMISSION LOOKING FOR BOARD OF DIRECTOR CANDIDATES |
| 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 on the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission’s District 6 board of directors, which is comprised of Adams, Cumberland, Dauphin, Franklin, Lancaster, Lebanon, Perry and York counties.
“We are looking for someone who has a deep appreciation for conservation, stream restoration, and improved public access for fishing and boating,” said Bob Schlemmer, chairman of the advisory council. “Serving on the board is a great opportunity for those who are committed to our aquatic resources and who believe that they can contribute to the Rendell administration’s overall mission to balance the environmental and economic needs of Pennsylvania’s communities.”
The qualified candidate will serve an eight-year term and replace Howard E. Pflugfelder of New Cumberland, Cumberland 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 both professional and volunteer experiences with fishing, boating, stream restoration and other conservation activities. Governor Rendell will select the final candidate. The Senate must confirm the Governor’s nominee.
All commissioners serve without compensation, but do receive travel reimbursement.
Anyone 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.
