If you think you have good advice to share with the Squamish Nation council, now’s your chance to shine.
The Nation put out a call for its members to join a select advisory committee.
This callout follows after the Nation elected a number of new faces to its council earlier this year.
The new councillors campaigned on providing more open and transparent governance.
“The purpose of the advisory committee [is] to provide council and the Squamish Nation with advice,” reads a news release from the Nation. “Council is seeking the input of our members and is forming advisory committees to accomplish this.”
Those interested are being asked to submit applications by June 19, 5 p.m.
People aged 55 and up can join the elders advisory committee. Those aged 12 to 30 can apply to the youth advisory committee.
Anyone who would like to give policy advice can apply to the housing advisory committee or the budget and financial report advisory committee.
Applicants need to submit a cover letter explaining why they want to join and a reference letter speaking to their background, experience, or value to this committee.
Members are asked to send their cover letter and reference letter to Denise Jensen at [email protected] or drop it off at the main office.
For more information, please contact Jensen via the above email or at 604-980-4553.
