The Governor's Advisory Council for Hunting, Fishing and Conservation this week announced it is looking for a qualified candidate to serve on the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission's District 6 board of directors, which is comprised of Adams, Cumberland, Dauphin, Franklin, Lancaster, Lebanon, Perry and York counties.

Applications will be accepted until February 3.

The qualified candidate will serve an eight-year term and replace Howard E. Pflugfelder of New Cumberland, Cumberland County, whose term expires next month.

Candidates will first interview with the fish and boat 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. Gov. Rendell will select the final candidate. The Senate must confirm the Governor's nominee.

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

Anyone interested in applying should send a resume and detailed 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.
