  Conservation District has a five-member Board of Supervisors elected by l

 the Board members are responsible for conducting business within the scope

 tion District is very meaningful to me because I have seen first-hand how 
 working with local leadership and creating educational programs can be ver
 y useful.\n\n1. Education on water quality and healthy soils for agricultu
 re production. Encourage the development of additional public outreach pro
 grams to educate the general public. Review and help execute established S
 trategic Plans.\n\n2. Establish more partnerships with various community g
 roups\, community leaders and educators to provide additional outreach wit
 hin Licking County and help create special programs that could be adopted
