The Department of Natural Resources is now taking applications for open positions on the Eastern Upper Peninsula Citizens’ Advisory Council (EUPCAC).
The EUPCAC is designed to advise the DNR on regional programs and policies; identify areas in which the department can be more effective and responsive; and offer insight and guidance from members’ own experiences and from the public at large.
The EUPCAC includes approximately 20 members, each residing within the five eastern Upper Peninsula counties: Alger, Chippewa, Luce, Mackinac, and Schoolcraft. The council members represent a wide variety of natural resource and recreation stakeholder groups and are chosen based on a variety of factors including counties and stakeholder groups not currently represented.
Meeting agenda items addressed at EUPCAC meetings are set by the council members, and council recommendations are forwarded to the DNR for consideration in policy-formation and decision-making processes. The council meets every other month, approximately six times per year. EUPCAC meetings are typically held in Newberry and occasionally in Manistique, Sault Ste. Marie, and St. Ignace.
The deadline to apply for open EUPCAC positions is Friday, Jan. 10. Application forms and more information about the CACs are available online at www.michigan.gov/upcac. Completed applications can be faxed to 906-228-9441, emailed to: dahlstromk@michigan.gov, or mailed to: DNR (Attn: CAC), 1990 U.S. 41 South, Marquette, MI 49855.
