Waldo County Soil & Water Conservation District (SWCD) has one opening on its five-member Board of Supervisors. The volunteer Board guides the District’s business affairs and operations in fulfillment of its mission to provide assistance to the community in conservation of land and water resources. The Board is comprised of three elected and two appointed supervisors who each serve overlapping three-year terms.

This year Waldo County SWCD is seeking nominations for one elected position.

Anyone interested in running for the office of supervisor or voting in the election must be a registered voter and reside within Waldo County. To run for an elected position, a candidate must submit a nomination paper signed by 25 Waldo County residents no later than December 20, 2021.

Candidates only need an interest in conservation and a willingness, at a minimum, to participate in monthly board meetings (in-person or remotely).

“Persons with relevant expertise and experience are encouraged to join the Board,” said SWCD, in a news release.

Nomination forms may be obtained by contacting the District office. The completed election document must be received at the District office by 4 p.m. on December 20, 2021, after which candidates will be posted on the website https://waldocountysoilandwater.org/.
