MACD maintains four standing committees to work on district and natural resource issues around the state: District Operations, Education, Soil Resources and Land Use, and Water Resources.
A primary purpose of these committees is to consider resolutions for Association adoption and make other policy recommendations to the MACD Board of Directors or member districts on issues pertinent to the committee and conservation districts.
To learn more about the work of committees and how to become involved, contact a Committee Chair. Current district supervisors are eligible to serve on a committee and don’t need to be on the MACD Board of Directors.
