Local Staff

---

The official governing body of the Soil and Water Conservation District consists of 5 supervisors. Three are elected (one each year for a three-year term) at an annual meeting of land occupiers held in January, February, or March. Two are appointed (also for  staggered three-year terms) by the State Soil Conservation Board based upon recommendations of the leadership in the district. Individually, Soil and Water Conservation District board members are responsible for the following:

• To attend or actively participate in all board meetings.
• To come to meetings prepared.
• To carry out assigned responsibilities.
• To stay informed of local conservation issues.
• To attend area and state meetings of the state association.
• To participate in training opportunities.
• To promote the district's work to local landowners, agencies and organizations, and legistlators.
• To identify local conservation needs and work to meet them within the limits of its resources.
• To keep the conservation district mission in focus.

Collectively, board members have the responsibility to work together as a unit to plan oversee implementation of their district's programs. If you are interested in learning more about becoming a board member, please feel free to contact any of our current supervisors.
