The Gallia Soil and Water Conservation District is seeking interested individuals to run for the Board of Supervisors. Each candidate is elected by county residents to represent them in charting a course for local soil and water conservation and natural resource management.
District Board of Supervisors guide the District, its staff, and cooperating agencies in efforts to implement a conservation program in the county that addresses management and conservation of soil, water, and related resources. Supervisors should have a sincere interest in conservation, and must have the enthusiasm, dedication, and time to serve expected of an elected official.
District supervisors are elected to a three-year term of office and serve without pay. Necessary expenses, e.g. travel to meeting, are covered by the SWCD. Board Member duties include attending and participating in monthly and special Board Meetings where conservation policy is discussed and adopted, and SWCD business is conducted. Occasionally, District Supervisors are called upon to represent the SWCD at special meeting in the county, and to p[resent budget needs to the Board of County Commissioners. Supervisors occasionally meet with State and U.S. lawmakers to discuss conservation needs.
County residents 18 years of age or older that are interested in running for the Gallia SWCD Board of Supervisors for the 2018 election are to contact the Soil and Water office for more information.
