IDEA Region Directors  

IDEA is managed by a board of directors. One director is elected from each Region and serves a four-year term. The organization's officers (president, vice-president, secretary and treasurer) are elected and serve two-year terms.  Click here to view the region map.

IDEA, in partnership with the IASWCD and ISDA Division of Soil Conservation, organizes training meetings and workshops for district employees. In addition, it assists with various events and activities to strengthen soil and water conservation programs throughout Indiana.

Membership in IDEA is open to any SWCD employee or Partnership affiliate supportive of the above purposes. Our organization holds its annual meeting in the Fall of each year at the IDEA Fall Conference.
