Advisory Committee

King Conservation District’s (KCD’s) Advisory Committee is composed of a total of 14 elected officials and senior staff from cities, the County, organizations across King County, and local residents as well as their alternates. King County, the Sound Cities Association and KCD each have responsibility to fill certain seats with appropriate and effective representatives.

The Advisory Committee extends KCD’s reach into its broad community of stakeholders by bringing diverse and expanded perspectives back to KCD’s Board of Supervisors. The Advisory Committee deliberates on policy issues and forwards its recommendations to the Board. The body typically meets from 10:00am through 11:30am the second Tuesday of every other month for a total of 6 meetings each year.
