Clark County is seeking two volunteers to serve on the Parks Advisory Board.

The term for both positions begins Jan. 1 and is for three years. When the term expires, they may reapply. There is no limit on how many terms a member can serve.

The Parks Advisory Board advises the Clark County Council and county staff on parks planning, acquisition, development and related issues. Applicants must be residents of Clark County.

Candidates with knowledge, ability and experience working with a broad range of individuals and communities with diverse racial, ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds are encouraged to apply. Although not required, candidates who can fluently speak a language in addition to English should include that information in their application.

The board meets 4-6 p.m. the second Tuesday of each month at the Luke Jensen Sports Complex in the Bud Van Cleve Community Room, 4000 N.E. 78th St., Vancouver. Meetings are held in a hybrid in-person/online format.

To apply, send a brief letter of interest and résumé to Michelle Pfenning, County Manager’s Office, P.O. Box 5000, Vancouver, WA 98666-5000 or by email at michelle.pfenning@clark.wa.gov.

The deadline to apply is 5 p.m. Oct. 18.
