KACD - Legislative Issues

An important role of the Kansas Association of Conservation Districts is to monitor legislative issues and advocate for measures that strengthen conservation efforts in the state. A key element of this advocacy is the strong partnership among federal, state, and local organizations committed to the conservation of Kansas natural resources.

KACD Executive Director Pat Lehman maintains a daily presence in the Kansas Capitol during the legislative session and will provide periodic legislative updates on this website.

Get to know the people who represent you! Our elected officials need and want to hear the views of their constituents so they are better informed on key issues of interest to their districts. To learn more about legislative advocacy, view Legislative Advocacy 101, a slideshow that was presented at the 2007 KACD Convention.

Legislative Issues

Conservation Day in the Captiol will be held on Wednesday, January 23, 2008. Several state conservation districts will feature booth exhibits to inform lawmakers and visitors to the Capitol about conservation efforts across the state.

County supervisors are encouraged to attend along with district managers and employees to spend a few minutes visiting with the legislators from their area. This year, in appreciation for the Legislature's adoption of increased aid to conservation districts in the 2007 session, KACD is sponsoring a luncheon for all legislators and their staff on Conservation Day.
