The South Lake Tahoe-based nonprofit environmental organization Tahoe Resource Conservation District is seeking two new board members to serve on its five-person Board of Directors. New board members, appointed by the El Dorado County Board of Supervisors, will serve voluntary, four-year terms from Nov. 30, 2010, through Nov. 30, 2014.
Interested applicants are required to reside and own property in the Lake Tahoe Basin in either Placer or El Dorado County and are asked to submit a letter of interest along with a county committee application (available online at www.co.el-dorado.ca.us) to the El Dorado County Board of Supervisors by Nov. 1, 2010, to be eligible for consideration. Decisions regarding new board members are expected to be announced the week of Nov. 15, 2010.
”Tahoe RCD plays a vital role in preserving and restoring natural resources in the Lake Tahoe Basin,” said Director Dave Roberts. "And, we rely heavily on our Board to help direct our efforts and connect us with resources, stakeholders and issues within the community.”
Current board members have a diverse set of backgrounds, with experience in not-for-profit management, private business, education, resource management and real estate. Any eligible applicants with an interest in Tahoe Basin environmental and conservation issues are encouraged to apply. New applicants or anyone from the general public are invited to attend Tahoe RCD board meetings, the next of which will be held on Oct. 12, 2010.
Tahoe RCD’s mission is to promote the conservation and improvement of the Lake Tahoe Basin’s soil, water, and related natural resources by providing leadership, information, programs, and technical assistance to all land managers, owners, organizations, and residents. Tahoe RCD is a non-regulatory, grant funded, not-for-profit agency that works with a variety of partner agencies to implement programs and outreach, which currently focus on erosion control, runoff infiltration, terrestrial and aquatic invasive species control, and conservation landscaping.
