Board of Directors - Elected by SWCD Employees
“I have been in the Soil and Water family at Warren County for nearly seven years. It’s a pleasure to serve on the employee association board of directors as we seek to promote professional development and build community throughout our organization. It’s especially rewarding to be able to give back to the employees and their families through scholarship awards.” - Caitlin Botschner
The Ohio Soil and Water Conservation District employees are represented by a board of directors elected by fellow employees at the OFSWCD Annual Conservation Partnership meeting. 'Board of Directors' sounds very formal. However, the directors are district employees who take a personal interest in the success of conservation programs and the overall betterment of communication and education of the district staff. The OASWCDE is designed to include all employees. If you have an interest in serving on the board or on a committee, please contact your area director!
