SWCD District Supervisors are elected officials and serve as a member of the Board of Supervisors, which is the governing body of the Soil and Water Conservation District. District Supervisors are nominated from one of the five nomination districts within the county and are elected in the general election. A supervisor must live in the nomination district in which he represents.

The Board sets policy, hires employees, and is responsible to see that the operations of the District are run effectively and according to law and rule.
