More Info:
Ohio’s 88 soil and water conservation districts are led by five local board members who are the key to the success of the district. These selfless volunteers serve three-year terms and provide leadership and motivation to the SWCD staff. The election of board members, conducted annually by the Ohio Soil & Water Conservation Commission in accordance with Chapter 940 of the Ohio Revised Code, remains a vital part of the fabric of the SWCD mission. Because the SWCD is a government entity, these board members are public officials, following the same rules and guidelines as those elected during general elections.
Delaware SWCD’s current board members are Sue Cunningham, Mike Hope, Dan Lane, Randy Leienberger, and Brian Skinner. Current board members, Mike Hope and Dan Lane, seek re-election, and Eric Penkal is the third candidate on the ballot.
