2023 District Board of Supervisors


Similar to the other Soil and Water Conservation Districts in Ohio, the Lucas SWCD is run by a board of five members who are publicly elected by county residents. Board members determine the district's long-term strategic goals, hire staff, and approve all budget decisions. They must attend one meeting a month and serve staggered terms of three years, so at least one member is up for election every year.
