If you are searching for a way to give back to the community, the Clark County Council has this week put out a call for volunteers to step up and fill two upcoming vacancies on the Mosquito Control District Board of Trustees. If you've got an interest in public health, environmental issues or local governance, this might be the opening you’ve been looking to actively take part in.
The terms for these positions start early next year on January 2, 2026, and run through to December 31, 2027, according to an announcement by the Clark County Council. The chosen trustees will have a hand to help manage the district's policy, oversee expenditures, and approve contracts. That's not a light load, but perhaps a necessary burden in maintaining our county's health and comfort.
Each of the county's cities or towns contributes a member to the Board of Trustees, which is rounded out by three at-large appointees. These volunteers come together quarterly, currently meeting in a hybrid format to suit virtually all comfort levels and schedules. The gatherings are slated for 7 p.m. on the second Tuesday of select months, ensuring that members have time to prepare without a weekly meeting grind.
If this spark of civic duty has kindled an interest, dust off your résumé and prepare a letter of interest. As the Clark County Council's announcement states, applicants should send these documents to Jake Goodwin at the County Manager’s Office by 5 p.m. on October 10.
All the information you need can be to find on the Board of Trustees' official website. Your community could benefit from your skills, your perspective. And you just might find the experience to be a fulfilling chapter in your civic life.
