The board of supervisors has regular monthly meetings and there are several special meetings throughout the year, including the South Central Area annual meeting and the Washington Association of Conservation Districts annual convention. Supervisors serve three-year terms without compensation, but can be reimbursed for district-related expenses.
Published election procedures and forms can be viewed at the conservation district office and are also available from the Washington State Conservation Commission . Candidate information is due to the conservation district by January 21, 2010. There is no filing fee.
