Highlights from the May 12, 2008 Council Meeting
The Soil and Water Conservation Society (SWCS) is a nonprofit scientific
and educational organization,
founded
in 1943, that serves as an advocate for conservation professionals and for
science-based conservation practice, programs, and policy.
SWCS chapters throughout the United States and Canada
conduct a variety of
activities at local, state, and provincial levels and on University campuses.
These 75 Chapters represent the grassroots element of the organization. Each
chapter elects its own officers, organizes conservation forums, and formulates
local recommendations on resource conservation and environmental management
issues.
As the recipients of numerous achievement awards in the past, the
Oklahoma Chapter is continuing its exceptional service to the Society and its
members by wining the 2004 Outstanding Chapter Award and the 2004 Sustained
Performance Award. The Oklahoma
Chapter is dedicated to ensuring the best interests of its members and the
Society are met by electing confident and capable officers and Committee persons
as well as maintaining a close relationship with the
international
headquarters. The future of the
Oklahoma Chapter holds
exiting new challenges for those already involved and provides a superb
opportunity for new member involvement.
