The Board of Directors of the Bay Area Air Quality Management
District is seeking applicants for the District's Advisory Council.
The Advisory Council advises and consults with the Board of Directors
and the Air Pollution Control Officer on matters related to air
pollution. Council members receive no salary, but are given expenses
incurred in the discharge of duties. The term of office is two years
and members may be appointed for up to six consecutive terms.

The 20-member Advisory Council is comprised of persons representing
specific interest groups and occupations, such as public health
agencies, private organizations active in conservation or
environmental protection, regional park districts, park and
recreation commissions, public mass transportation systems,
agriculture, industry, community planning, transportation, registered
professional engineers, general contractors, architects, organized
labor and one seat in an unspecified category.

Applications are being sought in the Conservation Organization,
Colleges & Universities and Park & Recreation District categories.
The member appointed in the Park & Recreation District and
Conservation Organization category will serve an initial two-year
term which will begin January 1, 2004 and will end December 31, 2005,
while the member in the Colleges & Universities category will
complete an unexpired term ending December 31, 2004. The Board is
also accepting applications for Council categories that are presently
filled to create a pool of candidates should vacancies occur.

The Council meets six times a year, in the morning on the second
Wednesday of January, March, May, July, September and November.
Members are assigned to one of the Council's three Standing
Committees-Air Quality Planning, Public Health, and Technical-which
meet during the months between the full Advisory Council meetings.

Applicants are preferably experienced in the field of air pollution
control, and must reside within the area of the District's regulatory
jurisdiction. For an information packet and application form, contact
