There is one spot open on the Knox-Lincoln Soil & Water Conservation District’s five-person Board of Supervisors.
There are three elected supervisors and two appointed supervisors on the volunteer board. The board’s job is to run the District’s business and help the community protect land and water resources.
The terms of each supervisory officer overlap by three years. This year, 2024, KLSWCD is looking for people to run for one elected post.
Anyone living in the Knox-Lincoln Soil & Water Conservation District (SWCD) who wants to 1) run for supervisor or 2) vote in the election must be in good standing with the government.
Candidates only need to care about the environment and be ready to attend at least one monthly board meeting, which can be held at the District office or online. A person who wants to run for office must get 25 people in Knox or Lincoln county to sign a nomination paper.
The SWCD Board also welcomes Associate Supervisors, who are chosen by the Board and do not have voting rights but may be interested in the District’s activities or have a specific area of expertise to share.
You can get nomination forms by calling the District office. Candidates must turn in their finished election forms by 2:30 p.m. on September 20.
If they are not received by that time, they will be posted on our website at https://www.knox-lincoln.org/board-of-supervisors.
Ballots must be turned in at the District office by 8:30 a.m. on November 20, 2024, and will be counted at our Board meeting, which is likely set for 9:00 a.m. on the same day. The public is welcome to attend.
To receive nomination papers or a ballot, or for more information, contact Election Superintendent at 893 West Street (Route 90) in Rockport, 596-2040 or julie@knox-lincoln.org.
