District Directors Wanted:
Legislative Committee Seeks Volunteers

Do you have a good relationship with your federal congressman? If so, the PACD Legislative Committee could use your help. The committee is looking for volunteers to serve as liaisons between the Association and the congressmen representing Pennsylvania's 19 legislative districts.
The committee is looking for at least one conservation district director to serve as the contact for their respective legislative district.

The federal legislative contacts will be asked to maintain the lines of communication between PACD and the National Association of Conservation Districts (NACD) and Pennsylvania's representatives in the United States Congress. The legislative contacts will be responsible for keeping their congressman informed about issues and budgetary concerns affecting conservation efforts at the local, state and national levels. Information will be relayed through communications from NACD, PACD Executive Director Susan Fox, or Legislative Committee Co-Chair Pat Sueck.

The PACD Legislative Committee will meet at 7 p.m., on Wednesday, October 30, as part of the PACD Fall Meeting. Any director with an interest to help PACD in this capacity is asked to attend the meeting or, contact Molly Burns at the PACD office, 717-238-PACD (7223).

The Legislative Committee also welcomes district directors and staff to provide recommendations or referrals for directors they believe would enjoy working in this capacity.
