Hello, Gang! Just a quick note to let folks know that each BLM districts have Resource Advisory Councils. Usually each district has a 10 member panel. These members are selected by the district field office from locals that send in an application for nomination, to a post that will serve as an advisor, to the BLM for a term of 3 years. If someone wants to have a say-so as to what happens in his or her district, might look at applying for one of these positions. You, also, can look at who is serving as an advisor in your district and when their term ends. For me in Northwest New Mexico, I went to www.blm.gov/nm/racs Our office has 3 positions opening soon. In any case one can submit an application or bend an ear of one of your district members. Hope everyone is fever free and having a Great time in Tucson!!!!! Happy B-Day Geoff and Steve!!!
