State historic cemeteries commission seeks new member

The Oregon Commission on Historic Cemeteries is seeking a volunteer to fill an open position representing northeastern Oregon.

The Oregon Commission on Historic Cemeteries is comprised of seven citizens and is empowered by the Legislature to develop and maintain a listing of all pioneer and historic cemeteries in Oregon; make recommendations for funding, obtain grants funding, seek legislative appropriations for historic cemeteries, and assist in the coordination of restoration, renovation and maintenance of historic cemeteries statewide.

The group meets four times per year in changing locations around the state. There may be an occasional additional meeting for extra projects, programs and grant selection. Commissioners are also asked to provide informal meetings in their regions and work on other projects outside of meeting time.

The commission is particularly seeking a representative from the northeast part of the state, but all are encouraged to apply. Please apply before March 15, 2015.

More information about the Historic Cemeteries program is available online at www.oregonheritage.org<http://www.oregonheritage.org/> . To apply, send a letter of interest and resume to commission coordinator Kuri Gill at Kuri.Gill at oregon.gov<mailto:Kuri.Gill at oregon.gov>. Please include your reasons for wanting to serve on the commission, any skills or knowledge you will bring to its work, and ideas or goals you have for your participation. If you have further questions please email Kuri Gill or call at 503-986-0685.
