Clark Conservation District Board Election - March 11, 2025

The Clark Conservation District Board of Supervisors announces two seats on the board – one elected, and one appointed. The Clark Conservation District election day is Tuesday, March 11th, 2025. 

All conservation district elections and appointments in Washington State are governed by Washington Administrative Code 135-110 with guidance and oversight provided by the Washington State Conservation Commission. 

Each conservation district (CD) in Washington is governed by a board of five members, called supervisors. Three are elected locally by the public, and two are appointed by the State Conservation Commission. Conservation district board supervisors are public officials who serve without compensation (volunteer) and set policy and direction for the conservation district. To learn more about the responsibilities, powers, and obligations of a Conservation District Supervisor read the Conservation District Supervisor Responsibilities guide on Washington State Conservation Commission’s Local Elections and & Appointments page. 

For additional information on any aspect of the District’s board or elections, contact the Election Supervisor, Shawna Smith, at ssmith@clarkcd.org or by calling 360-859-0714.
