Serving on your local Conservation District board is one way to shape decisions that affect land, water, agriculture, forests, wildlife, and conservation education in your community.
How to get started:
1. Find your local Conservation District
Use the MACD District Directory: https://members.macd.org/member-directory
2. Contact the district office
Ask when their annual meeting is held and when nominating petitions are available
3. Get your signatures
When nominating petitions are open, get 5 signatures from county residents supporting your run and turn it in to your District by the deadline
4. Meet people and ask for their vote!
Get out in the community and share why you are running for the Conservation District board and how you will support your District through your leadership.
Local conservation decisions start with community involvement. Have you ever considered running for office?
