About Directors:

 

A Director is one of 5 individuals who is willing to give of his or her time to make a difference in conservation in Kane and DuPage counties. Directors provide direction, motivation and inspiration to the SWCD staff to carry out the SWCD's plan of work in one of the fastest urbanizing areas of the state.  The obligations of a director are to:
  • serve a minimum of a two year term as a director of the SWCD board
  • attend monthly board meetings on the third Thursday of each month at 7 p.m. (December meeting at 4 p.m.)
  • participate and serve on standing committees, and time and need committees. Standing committees carry on throughout the year, whereas time and need committees are formed on an as needed basis.
  • review, monitor, and supervise the finances, office, personnel and workload of the SWCD.
  • represent the SWCD, as time allows, at local, regional, state and national conservation affiliated events and meetings
  • participate, as time allows, in regional and state affiliated organizations such as Land Council 16 and the Association of Soil and Water Conservation Districts.
If you are interested in becoming involved in the Soil & Water Conservation District  attending board meetings will give you a better understanding of what we do. 
 
About Directors:

 
Associate Directors are volunteers interested in providing their expertise to the Soil & Water Conservation District, yet do not have the time to commit to serving on the Board. An Associate Director monitors the activities of the SWCD by reviewing the monthly minutes and provides assistance in various SWCD activities as his or her time allows. An Associate Director may attend board meetings and serve on committees, but cannot make motions or vote. Becoming an Associate Director is a good way to learn about the functions of the SWCD in preparation for becoming a director.

If you have an interest in becoming involved, attending board meetings will give you a better understanding of what we do.
