With BLM s diverse responsibilities, council members get an opportunity to advise us on interesting, and often complex, issues. The councils operate on principles of collaboration and consensus. Members are sought who are committed to working together with other interests for the long term benefit of public lands and the people who enjoy and rely on them. Council members must be residents of Colorado. Each year, one-third of the membership is up for renewal or replacement.
Terms are for three years.
This RAC also has one opening in Category 3 for one year to fill an uncompleted term of a member who resigned. In addition, the Front Range RAC has one opening in Category 3 to fill two years of an uncompleted term of a member who resigned. BLM provides training on resource science and management issues to all council members. Members serve without monetary compensations, but are reimbursed for travel and per diem expenses. Members are expected to attend RAC meetings called by the designated federal officer.
