Submitted by San Juan County.
San Juan County is accepting applications for volunteer positions from two districts on its Climate and Sustainability Advisory Committee.
• District 2 (Orcas, Waldron, Blakely, Obstruction, Crane) – 3-year term.
• District 3 (Lopez, Shaw, Decatur, Center, Canoe) – 4-year term.
The Climate and Sustainability Advisory Committee was established by the San Juan County Council in early 2022 to help steer the County’s climate action work by advising on policy, helping set priorities and harnessing the momentum of existing work. The committee seeks to provide opportunities for cross-pollination of ideas and to increase collaboration around climate and sustainability efforts throughout San Juan County.
The Committee consists of 11 members who represent various sectors and perspectives on climate and sustainability issues, such as renewable energy, construction and green building, transportation, agriculture, economic development and ecology. Meetings are bi-monthly on the fourth Thursday of the month, in the evening. The new members will be expected to attend meetings and participate in the Committee’s activities and projects.
Interested applicants should complete the application on the County’s website at: https://www.sanjuancountywa.gov/2287/Boards-and-Committee-Application Questions about applying? Contact Aiden Haines at aidenh@sanjuancountywa.gov.
Application deadline extended! New deadline: May 31, 2025.
