How Directors Are Nominated and Selected
The Conservation District Law states that each Conservation District Board of Directors shall consist of one member of the county governing board. District directors are nominated by county-wide nominating organizations which are designated by the State Conservation Commission. The County Commissioners make appointments from the Nominating Organizations nominees and notify the State Conservation Commission of their selection. Each Director serves a three-year or a four-year term, with the appointment of directors scheduled so that no more than three directors' terms expire in any one year. Directors volunteer their time and talent to their communities' conservation efforts. It is the District Directors' responsibility to plan and direct the District program, guide the District's professional staff, coordinate the help of governing agencies, and serve as a community clearinghouse for information services and environmental program assistance. District Directors are volunteers from all walks of life who understand their county's unique natural features and concerns. Ultimately, the success of conservation districts depends on the efforts of each District's Board of Directors. Without their dedication in addressing local problems and overseeing programs, much of what has been accomplished by Conservation Districts would not have been possible.
Associate Directors
Associate directors are officially appointed by the Board as advisors. Associate directors do not vote on board decisions, but add their knowledge and experience in assisting with conservation district programs.
