About the Board
The Spokane Conservation District (SCD) is governed by a five-member Board of Supervisors. These volunteer local residents help set priorities and guide district programs. Three members are elected by the public; two are appointed by the Washington State Conservation Commission.
By law, at least three supervisors must be landowners or farm operators. Each serves a three-year term and is expected to attend monthly board meetings, along with occasional committee work and trainings.
Elections are held in early March when terms expire, with details posted in-house, online, and in local newspapers.
Supervisors play a vital role in representing community interests and supporting voluntary natural resource conservation.

There are no term limits for Associate Supervisors and they can be appointed to the board at any time during the year. An unlimited number of Associate Supervisors can serve on the board.
