The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) invites nominations and applications to serve on the inaugural membership of the Marine and Coastal Area-based Management Advisory Committee (MCAM AC).
The Committee would provide a forum for discussion to advise NOAA on area-based management, including opportunities to enhance conservation of biodiversity, promote climate resilience, and expand access to nature for underserved communities. The scope of the Committee's advice will include, but not be limited to, efforts consistent with the America the Beautiful/Conserving Our Nation's Lands and Waters initiative called for by section 216(a) of Executive Order 14008 on Tackling the Climate Crisis at Home and Abroad, as well as other relevant issues that may be requested by the Under Secretary. The MCAM AC shall terminate two years from the date of its charter's filing with the appropriate U.S. Senate and House of Representatives committees unless earlier terminated or renewed by the proper authority.
In order to provide for staggered membership to ensure continuity, half of the members shall be appointed to a two-year term and half shall be appointed to a four-year term, as selected by the Under Secretary. Thereafter, all members will serve one four-year, nonrenewable term.
Interested persons may nominate themselves or third parties. An application is required to be considered for MCAM AC membership, regardless of whether a person is nominated by a third party or self-nominated. The application package must include the nominee's full name, title, institutional affiliation (if any), and contact information; identification of the nominee's area(s) of representation (if the nominee is applying to be a representative member as described in the Notice) or expertise (if the nominee is applying to be an Special Government Employee as described in the Notice); a short description of their qualifications relative to the scope of the MCAM AC as described in this Notice; and a current resume (maximum length of four pages). If nominated by a third party, the nomination should include a statement that the nominated individual agrees to be nominated. All nomination information should be provided in a single, complete package, and should be sent via email to lauren.wenzel [at] noaa.gov.
Nominations and applications will continue to be accepted on an ongoing basis for a period of one year and may be considered in case of vacancies.
Nominations and applications should be submitted electronically to Lauren Wenzel, National Ocean Service, NOAA, at lauren.wenzel [at] noaa.gov.
