The purpose of the National Monument Advisory Committee (MAC) is to advise the Secretaries with respect to implementation of the National Monument Management Plan.

The MAC holds public meetings at least once per year. The Designated Federal Official (DFO), or his/her designee, may convene additional meetings as necessary. All MAC members are volunteers serving without pay. Members of the MAC may be reappointed upon expiration of the member's current term.

Any individual may nominate himself or herself for appointment. Completed nomination applications should include letters of reference and/or recommendations from the represented interests or organizations, and any other information explaining the nominee's qualifications (e.g., resume, curriculum vitae).
