The Tualatin SWCD Board of Directors is composed of Washington County residents who work collaboratively to set priorities, establish programs, and develop strategies. These local residents act as a guiding body to ensure the conservation district works effectively toward its mission of protecting natural resources and creating a healthy, productive Washington County community. Tualatin SWCD has seven board members – five members who represent specific geographic zones within Washington County and two who are elected “at-large” from anywhere in the district. These volunteer officials serve four-year terms. In Oregon, conservation district director elections occur every two years during the November general election (even-numbered years).
