Volunteer for Oregon Citizen Involvement Advisory Committee


A new volunteer is being sought for the state’s Citizen Involvement Advisory Committee (CIAC), an eight-person committee that advises the Oregon Land Conservation and Development Commission (LCDC and local governments on citizen involvement in land use planning. The committee meets every two months, usually in Salem. CIAC’s work centers on Statewide Planning Goal 1: Citizen Involvement. The committee furthers the goal through activities such as: Writing materials to educate and inform Oregonians about citizen involvement; gathering and disseminating information about citizen involvement techniques; and advising LCDC and state and local officials about ways to enhance citizen involvement. More information about CIAC is on the Web at: http://www.oregon.gov/LCD/citizeninvolvement.shtml. Interested candidates are welcome to contact any of the current CIAC members for more information about duties and activities. Completed applications must be received at the Department of Land Conservation and Development (DLCD) by 5 p.m. on Monday, November 30, 2009.  http://www.oregon.gov
