Fix appointed to BLM resource council


Associate Professor Peter Fix (pictured at left) has been appointed to the U.S. department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management Resource Advisory Council. The 15-member advisory panel provides advice and recommendations to the BLM on resource and land management issues for 75 million acres of federal public land in Alaska.

The RAC meets one to three times per year. Membership includes a cross section of Alaskans from around the state representing energy, tourism and commercial recreation interests; environmental, archeological or historic interests; and elected officials, Alaska Native organizations, and the public at large. Council members are selected for their ability to provide informed, objective advice on a broad array of public lands issues and their commitment to collaboration in seeking solutions to those issues.

Members are appointed to three-year terms and may be reappointed to consecutive terms.
