Boards, Committees, & Commissions
The volunteer boards, commissions and committees provide the Lincoln County Board of Commissioners with an important source of community input, expertise and diverse points of view. These boards, committees, and commissions involve individuals who are involved in and committed to a strong county government. Every effort is made to ensure that the selected individuals reflect the changing character of the County. The following boards are available for citizen participation:
Membership & Diversity
In order to present balanced points of view, membership in our committees should reflect a cross-section of citizens who are registered voters of Lincoln County and who may be technical experts as appropriate to the nature and function of the committee, commission, or board. Additionally, in order to provide for more diversity and opportunity, individuals should serve on only one committee, commission or board at a time. The Board of County Commissioners may waive this general practice, but must consider fairness to other volunteers, diversity of background and professions, relevant experience and expertise and geographic balance in their appointments. The County Commissioners may require very specific subject matter expertise or credentials and in some cases, a position may remain vacant for some period of time to obtain this narrowly-defined appointment.
To Apply
The standard application procedure for commission,committee or board membership requires submission of a letter of interest and an accompanying resume addressed to a member of the Board of County Commissioners or the County Manager at PO BOX 711, Carrizozo, NM 88301. Applications may also be sent by fax to 575-648-4182 or email to linclnco@tularosa.net. The letter should indicate the name of the commission, committee or board that the individual is volunteering for and a statement of the particular desire to serve. The resume should contain a home address, current phone numbers, and a clear statement of current employment or an indication of being retired. Applicants should state the talents and expertise that they would bring to the particular appointment. The County Manager will maintain a standing list of volunteers for the consideration of the Board of County Commissioners. A standing list will assist County Commissioners in filling vacancies more quickly.
