Board Commitment

A strong, engaged, dedicated board of directors is one of the cornerstones to the successful public service of a special district.  It is important to have each seat on the board filled by someone dedicated to seeing the district succeed in serving in the public’s best interest.  When a board member vacates a seat, there is an opportunity to bring in someone to fill that seat with a fresh perspective and unique experiences of their own, which will help contribute to the board’s guidance of the district.
