The Alaska Resource Advisory Council provides advice and recommendations to BLM on land management issues for 90 million acres of public lands in Alaska. Members serve two-year terms and may be reappointed for consecutive terms.
Council members serve without salary but are reimbursed travel expenses.
Individuals may nominate themselves or others. Nominees should have appropriate background and experience to give informed, objective advice on a broad array of public lands issues, and a demonstrated commitment to collaboration in seeking solutions to those issues. Nominees must be Alaska residents. All nominations must be accompanied by letters of reference from the interests or organizations to be represented. Final selection will be made by the Secretary of Interior.
