Board of Directors

Pathfinders board members volunteer their time to address important issues in their communities. Representatives from each county may include:

  • a county supervisor
  • a local soil and water district commissioner
  • a representative at-large

The Executive Director works closely with the Board to identify challenges and opportunities, establish goals and objectives, develop strategies, and implement plans.

The Board of Directors meets quarterly in August, November, February, and May. Guests from the public are welcome to attend meetings. If you need accommodation, please notify the Pathfinders RC&D office by calling 641-472-6177.
