Directors & Committees

AACD is a confederation of Alaska's Soil & Water Conservation districts. The 12 member districts are each represented by a member on the Alaska Association of Conservation Districts board. Those Districts whose chairs are serving as AACD officers may appoint a second district representative to attend AACD meetings as a regular voting member.

There are three standing committees, with other committees appointed ad hoc as needed.

AACD meets monthly. Most meets are telephonic. Fall, spring and January meetings are in person. Telephonic meetings are generally 9:30 a.m. on the second Tuesdays of each month. For call-in codes, contact AACD.
