Board of Directors - Elected by SWCD Employees
"The battle for conservation will go on endlessly. It is part of the universal battle of right and wrong."

-John Muir
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!
