Hospital board position among four open in Washakie County

As of this month, Bryony Volin has stepped down from her role on the Washakie Medical Center board of directors.

Volin served on the board for three years, drawing on her experience as a nurse to aid the board in making decisions in the best interest of the hospital and the community.

At the time of writing, there are four board positions open in Washakie County — Washakie Medical Center, Fair Board, Predatory Animal Control Board and the Solid Waste District #1 Board.

The boards in Washakie County offer individuals an opportunity to make the changes they want to see in their community.

County Clerk Lily Rakness Parra detailed the importance of filling these positions, saying, “Serving on a board brings a multitude of people with diverse backgrounds and experiences together to help make decisions that not only effect the specific organization, but the community as a whole by ensuring community involvement, providing accountability and being able to understand the inner workings of all aspects of our community.”

She said to apply for a position on a board, one must submit a letter of intent to the Clerk’s office at the Washakie County Courthouse. Once a submission deadline has passed, the Washakie County Commissioners examine the letters and select a candidate they feel is best suited for the position.

If you believe you have something to contribute to any of the four boards mentioned above, consider applying and helping your community.
