Why I am Running
Prior to joining Cooperative Extension, I served as Information/Education Specialist and Ag Non-Point Source Special Area Land Treatment (AgNPS SALT) Project Manager for Barry County Soil and Water Conservation District. I also served as a board member for our local Resource Conservation and Development (RC&D) Board. I thoroughly enjoyed my time serving these entities, and being able to contribute to vital efforts to protect soil and water. I appreciate Laramie Rivers Conservation District's programs that are available to residents in our area, and look forward to the opportunity to work with fellow board members and staff to encourage land stewardship.
