Pathfinders Board of Directors
Pathfinders board members volunteer their time to address important issues in their communities. Representatives from each county include a county supervisor, a local soil and water district commissioner, and a representative at-large.
The Executive Director works closely with the Board to identify problems, establish goals and objectives, build strategies, and implement plans.
The Board of Directors generally meet the fourth Wednesday of each month. 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.
