ZAP Advisory Boards

The Tier I and Tier II Zoo, Arts and Parks Advisory Boards review applications and make funding recommendations to the Salt Lake County Council. The advisory boards do this by reviewing applications. The advisory boards rely upon the experience, knowledge and expertise of each member and do not interfere with the content of the applicant's programming. Advisory board members are volunteers and are integral to the success of the Zoo, Arts and Parks Program. New members are needed almost every year.

The ZAP Program strongly encourages you to invite the appropriate Advisory Board to at least one event for free annually; however, you may invite them as often as you wish.
