PACD/SCC Winter Meeting Concludes

Written by Shannon Wehinger on . Posted in PACD General

The PACD Executive Board holds the Executive Council meeting on January 18, 2018.

From January 17-18, 2018, conservation district directors, associate directors, staff, partners, and friends braved the snowy roads to travel to Toftrees in State College for the PACD/SCC Winter Meeting.

During Executive Council the following were approved:

  • Bylaws change to allow associate directors to serve as region directors.
  • Bylaws change to allow every board member a vote on the PACD Executive Board.
  • Policy opposing an abbreviated permit review period.
  • Cliff Lane was elected as National Association of Conservation Districts Director.

Also during the meeting, a 50/50 drawing was held to benefit the PA Envirothon. Because winner Kelly Stagen donated her winnings back to the Envirothon, PACD was able to write a check for $309 to the Envirothon.

Next, PACD is turning its focus toward the NACD Northeast Regional Meeting & PACD/SCC Joint Annual Conference which will take place July 15-18, 2018 in Lancaster, PA.
