Board of Supervisors

Run for SWCD Board Supervisor

This year, the SWCD has three Supervisor positions up for election. SWCD candidates appear on the ballot for the general election which will take place November 3rd, 2026. Candidates are elected county wide but must reside in one of the nomination districts up for election. These include Nominating District I, which includes Aldrich and Thomastown Townships, of which Ken Berg currently serves, Nominating District II, which includes Leaf River and Wadena Townships, of which Brett Dailey currently serves, and Nominating District III, which includes Bullard, Lyon and Wing River Townships, of which Jerry Kern currently serves.  SWCD Supervisors serve four-year terms. 

Wadena SWCD Supervisors are elected for a four-year term during the November general election. Supervisors meet monthly to discuss the business of the SWCD, including state grant allocations to landowners, district conservation priorities, coordination with other local units of government and state agencies, and legislative priorities. Supervisors do not receive a salary, although they do receive compensation for attending meetings and are reimbursed for expenses. 

Those interested in running for Supervisor should file at the County Auditor’s office from May 19th through June 2nd, 2026.
