Public Meetings
Commission Meetings
The Missouri Soil and Water Districts Commission meets approximately seven times a year. These meetings are held mainly in Jefferson City. Periodically, meetings are held in various parts of the state in conjunction with tours or other meetings. During these meetings, the commission establishes policy relating to soil and water conservation issues that impact the owners of privately held agricultural land. The commission also hears appeals from soil and water conservation districts and landowners concerning these policies. These meetings are open meetings and held in accordance with the Missouri Sunshine Law. View our online calendar for a list of upcoming meetings and events.
Should you have any questions regarding the commission meetings, please e-mail Theresa Mueller with the Soil and Water Conservation Program or call her at 573-751-1172.
All meetings are open to the public unless the commission goes into closed session in accordance with state law governing open meetings (RSMo 610).

Annual Training Conference
Each year, all soil and water conservation districts participate in a statewide training conference. The conference provides district supervisors with learning opportunities on topics such as upcoming legislation, nepotism, auditing and orientation for new board members and employees.
2007 Training Conference Presentations
Area Meetings
During the year, there are eight one-day meetings held at various locations throughout the state to provide training for district board members and employees. Unlike the annual conference, these smaller meetings allow for greater interaction between participants. Typically, there are no more than three main training topics presented. A member of the Soil and Water Districts Commission attends each meeting to discuss current issues and policies of the commission.
