Associate Supervisors wanted

If you or someone you know is interested in becoming an Associate Supervisor, the HCSWCD Board of Supervisors is looking to fill several positions. Associate Supervisors are appointed by the Board to attend monthly meetings, provide valuable feedback, and attend and help out at one District-sponsored event per year. An strong interest in local conservation needs is a must. Contact us today to learn more about the role of the Associate Supervisors and if this is right for you.
