The Oregon State Marine Board is seeking interested boaters to sit on one of four boating advisory teams to provide guidance on a variety of boating related issues. The teams will be comprised of 10-15 members from around the state, and will meet approximately twice a year and occasionally via telephone or internet.
“These teams are informal in nature with the purpose of providing input and advice to staff. The teams are not decision-making bodies, and do not take the place of any Board deliberations or any formal hearings required for rulemaking,” said Scott Brewen, Director of the Marine Board.
“Our goal is that the Boat Oregon Advisory Teams will represent recreational boaters who can tell us what they’re experiencing out on the water and then provide agency staff with ideas on how the agency can best address their concerns.”
The Four Boat Oregon Advisory Teams will cover Cruising, Watersports, Outdoor Sportsmen, and Paddlesports.
Members will be asked to serve a two year term with the option of an additional two years if desired. Meetings are open to the public and public interaction will be encouraged.
The digital application deadline is July 31, 2014 by 5 pm. For more information, visit www.oregon.gov/OSMB/Pages/
