The Knox Soil & Water Conservation District is seeking candidates for its board of supervisors. Two supervisors will be elected at the annual meeting in 2021. The two supervisors-elect will begin a three-year term in January 2022. Board supervisors guide the district, its staff and cooperating agencies in efforts to implement conservation programs in the county that address management and conservation of soil, water and related resources. Board members should have a sincere interest in conservation and must have the enthusiasm, dedication and time to serve as an elected official.
This is a volunteer position, but supervisors can be reimbursed for mileage and expenses related to events involving soil and water professionals.
What a potential supervisor needs to know:
• Candidate must be over 18 years old and a resident of Knox County.
• This is a volunteer position with a 3-year term.
• Regular board meetings are on the third Wednesday of the month at 8 p.m. April through November and at 7 p.m. December through March. Meetings normally run about 2 hours.
• Attendance at occasional outside meetings, events or trainings is required.
If you are interested in running to become a supervisor, please contact Rob Clendening at rclenden@knoxswcd.org or 740-392-6724.
