This page provides an overview of the boards and commissions in which the Alaska Department of Natural Resources (DNR) has a significant role. On one hand, DNR is involved in statewide and regional boards and commissions whose members are appointed by the governor. Recruitment to these is handled by the Boards and Commission's Office within the Office of the Governor. In addition, DNR's various divisions and offices maintain or participate in boards, commissions, and advisory councils that advise the department on many critical issues, ranging from forest policy to the allocation of funds for trails in state parks. We welcome you to apply to serve on these organizations and attend their meetings.
