August 22-23, 2008
Supervisor Training is conducted each year in August to give Soil and Water Conservation District Supervisors the information they need to serve their communities more effectively. Sessions are held for new supervisors to inform them of their responsibilities to their districts and Georgia law as it pertains to districts. Veteran supervisors have the opportunity to hear updates from conservation agencies and GACDS leaders.
This year's training on Friday will focus on woody biomass and bioenergy in Georgia. An afternoon tour to the award-winning Macon Water Authority and a forestry demonstration site will allow attendees to study best management practices in the two industries. On Saturday morning after the new and veteran breakout sessions, participants will have the choice of attending an address on the new Farm Bill or an update on erosion and sediment control.
All supervisors are encouraged to participate in Supervisor Training.
