The Governor's Advisory Council for Hunting, Fishing and Conservation this week announced it is looking for a qualified candidate to serve on the Fish and Boat Commission's board of directors representing District Two.

District Two covers Allegheny, Armstrong, Beaver, Fayette, Greene, Indiana, Washington and Westmoreland counties.

Applications will be accepted until October 21.

District Two became vacant with the passing of Commissioner Ross J. Huhn of Saltsburg, Westmoreland County.

Candidates will first interview with the special subcommittee of the advisory council and will be rated not only on responses, but also on both professional and volunteer experiences with fishing, boating, stream restoration and other conservation activities. Governor Rendell will select the final candidate. His nominee must be confirmed by the Senate.

All commissioners serve without compensation, but do receive travel reimbursement.

Individuals interested in applying should send a resume and cover letter to Robb Miller, Governor's Advisory Council for Hunting, Fishing and Conservation, Rachel Carson State Office Building, 400 Market St., 7th Floor, P.O. Box 8767, Harrisburg, Pa., 17106-8767.
