Our Commissioners
Dallas County SWCD is a legal subdivision of state government that is managed by a board of five elected commissioners. We work together with our partners (including the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service and the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship – Division of Soil Conservation and Water Quality) to address local natural resource concerns in our district.
