Board Supervisor Election
|
Conservation districts are governed by a board of supervisors, three elected and two appointed by the Conservation Commission. We function best with board supervisors who are passionate about and involved in natural resource conservation. In May 2024, there will be two board openings (one elected and one appointed). This is a 3-year volunteer position.
WICD will hold an election for one Board Supervisor in March 2024. All registered voters on Whidbey Island are eligible to participate! |
