The IPMAC was established by the Board of Supervisors in November 2009. The Fish & Wildlife Committee has had a designated seat since 2010. Susan Heckly admirably served several consecutive terms from February 2014 until her most recent term ended on February 28, 2026. The seat is currently vacant.
