The open position is for a representative from the Clark County Youth Commission or Clark County Youth House, or a representative of local area high schools or colleges.
The position is for a three-year term which begins when the position is filled.
The council uses a health equity framework to identify community health needs, review and recommend public health policies and priorities to address the identified needs, review and make recommendations to Clark County Public Health and the Board of Health about annual budgets and fees.
