The Valley County Recreation Advisory Council (VCRAC) is seeking a new board member.  

VCRAC is a 7-9 person council that provides community-based advice to Valley County Parks and Recreation and the Board of Commissioners regarding the best use of funds and land in support of public recreation and conservation. 

The council represents a wide diversity of recreational and conservation interests. Council members are full-time residents of Valley County, with 2 positions open to property owners whose primary residence is not in Valley County. At this time, we are seeking a member who can represent interests in south Valley (Cascade, Smith’s Ferry) with a focus on watersports and whitewater recreation. The Council meets monthly, and attendance at a majority of the meetings is required.  

Appointments are made by the Valley County Board of County Commissioners for 1-3 year staggered terms. This is a great opportunity to serve your community and to be a part of recreational planning and development in Valley County. Past projects of VCRAC include the Valley County Recreation Strategic Plan (viewable at https://www.co.valley.id.us/departments/Recreation).   

Interested parties should submit a letter of introduction or resume by February 28, 2026, describing their recreational interests and qualifications as well as their readiness to engage in collaborative planning efforts. Letters of introduction or resumes can be submitted at the Valley County Courthouse, emailed to dbingaman@co.valley.id.us, or mailed to VC Parks and Recreation at: PO Box 1350, Cascade, ID 83611.
