About CD Area Meetings
Each fall, MACD attends meetings for each of Montana’s six Conservation District Areas. At these meetings, neighboring conservation districts, MACD area directors, staff, and partners get together to discuss issues facing their areas, programs the districts are implementing, proposed resolutions, election of MACD Area Directors, and more. Area Meetings are annually scheduled for the last week of September and first week of October.

Resources for Districts
Districts are asked to create reports each year ahead of MACD’s area meetings. These reports are a valuable tool to help communicate your district’s accomplishments to partners, legislators, and members of your community.
This year, we are asking districts to try out a template for these reports. This template is designed to help you put together a report that is visually appealing, concise, and interesting. It is available to districts on Canva and as a downloadable Word document, or districts can submit information through a Jotform for direct formatting assistance from MACD. Please note that this is a guide and not a required format – feel free to make adjustments, add/remove sections, and be creative to make sure your district’s unique accomplishments shine through!
