The Oregon Parks and Recreation Department is seeking a citizen-at-large member for the County Opportunity Grant Program Advisory Committee.

A release from OPRD said the committee awards funds to county projects that support recreational vehicle camping and related campground amenities.

The selected volunteer and other committee members will read, assess and score grant applications, as well as attend a one-day presentation held virtually in November. Additional information about the program and committee member roles are included on the program webpage: https://www.oregon.gov/oprd/GRA/pages/GRA-cogp.aspx

Interested applicants must submit a Committee Interest Form by October 31st https://www.oregon.gov/oprd/GRA/Documents/GRA-Committee-Interest-form-w-References.pdf. Members serve up to two consecutive four-year terms.

The program is funded by a portion of RV registration fees, and awards nearly $850,000 annually to county-sponsored projects.

New committee members will be appointed by the OPRD director.
