District Governance
Conservation District’s governing boards are comprised of five elected local citizens known as Supervisors.
Supervisors share their experience and knowledge of community needs to guide the district to establish local priorities, set policy, and administer non-regulatory conservation programs during monthly board meetings. Supervisors, although serving as public officials, do not draw a salary. Conservation District employee(s) are hired by the Supervisors to provide day-to-day coordination of District activities. New Supervisors complete Supervisor Training after election.

Also, an election is conducted for the position(s) of Supervisor(s) to fill the expired three-year term. In this election, every qualified elector residing in the county is eligible to vote. A statewide list of annual meeting dates, times and locations is available here for 2024 meetings.
