GOVERNANCE

A Memorandum of Understanding between the Indiana Association of Soil and Water Conservation Districts (IASWCD), the United States Department of Agriculture – Natural Resources Conservation Service (USDA-NRCS), the Indiana State Department of Agriculture (ISDA), the Indiana State Soil Conservation Board (SSCB), and Purdue University Extension Service provides the framework to jointly carry out the CCSI program.

  • Jennifer Thum (ISDA Division of Soil Conservation Deputy Director), Chair

  • Kenny Cain (SSCB Chair)

  • Ray Chattin (SSCB Member)
